The book starts in pre-European times and traces the arrival of various waves of settlers and their attempts to set up churches in their new home. The eleven authors have researched widely over the past two years and provided an insight often lacking in chronological works. Generously illustrated and indexed, this book is a worthwhile addition to the historical records of the people of Lower Hutt. Pitt Henrich, designer and maker of the Pulpit Fall depicted on the cover of I this book, speaks of her work in this way — “This church wanted me to show how their work as Methodists with a tradition of social concern could go out from the church in the Hutt Valley to people everywhere.

  • Wellington Network Upgrade

    WELLINGTON NETWORK UPGRADE Better rail services for the region. Around 500,000 Wellingtonians and visitors take over 14 million passenger journeys each year on our Metro Rail Network. KiwiRail, Greater Wellington Regional Council and Metlink are working together to modernise the rail, thanks to investment of almost $300 million from the Government to enable: Train services to be more reliable. More people and freight travelling on rail in the future. The Wellington Metro Upgrade Programme is being delivered on a busy, well-maintained but ageing network where trains run 18 hours a day. The focus of our work is: Renewing existing network infrastructure to improve rail services. Renewing traction power overhead line system and signals power supply, and improving the track across the network including inside the four major tunnels. Adding capacity to the network so more people can travel on trains in the future while still allowing for freight services. This includes: Double tracking between Trentham and Upper Hutt. Improvements to Wellington station approaches. Changes at Plimmerton. More information www.kiwirail.co.nz (Wellington Metro Upgrade) HUTT LINE DOUBLE TRACKING More frequent, reliable trains. The 2.7 kilometres of rail line between Trentham and Upper Hutt is being double tracked so trains can travel in both directions at the same time. This will allow more frequent and reliable services along this section of the busy line from Wellington to Upper Hutt and Wairarapa. Stations are being upgraded and we are making it safer around our tracks. Wairarapa Existing Upper Hutt Future Connecting new second track to the network Level crossing upgrade at Blenheim Street Wallaceville Closing pedestrian crossing just North of Wallaceville New platform with shelters will be built in the style of Ava’s (pictured).

    Attachment 1 Wellington Regional Rail Strategic Direction 2020.Pdf

    WELLINGTON REGIONAL RAIL STRATEGIC DIRECTION 2020 Where we’ve come from Rail has been a key component of the Wellington Region’s transport network for more than 150 years. The first rail line was built in the 1870s between Wellington and Wairarapa. What is now known as the North Island Main Trunk followed in the 1880s, providing a more direct route to Manawatū and the north. Two branch lines were later added. The region has grown around the rail network, as villages have turned into towns and cities. Much of it was actively built around rail as transit-oriented development. Rail has become an increasingly important way for people to move about, particularly to Wellington’s CBD, and services and infrastructure have been continuously expanded and improved to serve an ever-growing population. The region is a leader in per capita use of public transport.

    New Zealand National Climate Summary 2010: Settled and Warm Annual Mean Sea Level Pressures Were Above Average Over the New Zealand Region in 2010

    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2011 New Zealand national climate summary 2010: Settled and warm Annual mean sea level pressures were above average over the New Zealand region in 2010. The increased prevalence of anticyclones (‘highs’) near New Zealand produced a relatively settled climate for the year overall, with average or above average annual temperatures in all regions, normal or above normal sunshine hours in most districts, and drought at either end of the year. The large-scale climate setting changed from a moderate El Niño at the start of the year, to a La Niña by July. The La Niña climate pattern intensified to moderate-to-strong by September, and prevailed through the end of 2010. The Southern Annular Mode (SAM), a climate pattern affecting the westerly wind strength and location over and to the south of the country, was strongly positive overall in 2010. This contributed to the prevalence of anticyclones experienced near New Zealand. Mean annual temperatures were above average (between 0.5°C and 1.2°C above the long-term average) in the northeast of the North Island, and in Nelson, Marlborough, parts of Canterbury, Fiordland and parts of Westland, the southern Lakes District and central Otago. Mean annual temperatures were near average elsewhere (within 0.5°C of the long-term average). The national average temperature for 2010 based on a 7-station series was 13.1 °C, 0.5 °C above the 1971–2000 annual average. 2010 was the 5th warmest year since 1900, based on this 7-station series. The four warmer years were 1971 (+0.6 °C), 1998 (+0.9 °C), 1999 (+0.8 °C), and 2005 (+0.6 °C).

    Wellington Harbour Ferry Service Review 1

    Attachment 1 to Report 07.394 Page 1 of 28 Wellington Harbour Ferry Service Review 1. Purpose To set out the results of a review of the Wellington Harbour Ferry Service. 2. Background The Council currently contracts East by West Ltd to provide a ferry service between Days Bay in Eastbourne and Queens Wharf in Wellington City. This contract will end in November 2007. In order to establish the service specifications for the next contract, a review of the ferry service was completed in May 2007. This report presents the results of the review. 2.1 History of the Wellington Harbour Ferry Service A ferry service between Days Bay and Queens Wharf in Wellington City has been operating since March 1989. This service has been run since that time by East by West Ltd – initially with the WestpacTrust ferry, which in 1990 was replaced with the current “City Cat” catamaran. The original service sailed between Days Bay and Queens Wharf, and in 1995 the route was expanded to include Matiu Somes Island, after the island was opened to the public as a Department of Conservation reserve. In 2002 a review of bus services in Eastbourne, Wainuiomata and Hutt Valley indicated potential for the ferry service to be expanded. Market research conducted in 2003 confirmed this, and concluded that reducing fares on the ferry, providing more frequent and later sailings, and providing more direct buses to the city were the most preferred options to improve public transport in Eastbourne. The option identified as being the most likely to bring new users to passenger transport was providing more frequent and later sailings.

We monitor eight freshwater and 34 coastal sites In the Wellington and Hutt Valley area. The results from this monitoring are compared to national guidelines and used to calculate an overall grade for each site. Results from the 2014/15 summer season Most of the swimming spots we monitor in Wellington and the Hutt Valley have good water quality. The best sites are Hutt River at Poets Park, Breaker Bay and Princess Bay which have an overall grade of ‘A’ and met the guideline for safe swimming on all occasions. The worst sites are at Island Bay, Owhiro Bay, Rona Bay, Hutt River at Melling and Wainuiomata River at Richard Prouse Park.
