Comments I support the Matariki funding, Supported living and Living wage I'm disappointed in the promotional video transport is accompanied by images of cars on major roads. Some of which were state highways. I think this is indicative of the situation with transport and the need to provide better public and active transport options in Wellington to reduce congestion on weekends. I support more funding for walking and cycling, and feel that this could easily be found within the existing roading budget. I support increasing speed restrictions around schools, and for suburban roads. I don't think rates remission on new builds for first home buyers is the solution to the housing crisis however accept that many solutions are outside of Councils control. I support more funding for social housing. I disagree with support for electric vehicles. This resource is better directed towards supporting public and active transport options.

  • Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand
    NATURAL MONUMENTS: RETHINKING ARBOREAL HERITAGE FOR TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Susette Goldsmith A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The twenty-first century is imposing significant challenges on nature in general with the arrival of climate change, and on arboreal heritage in particular through pressures for building expansion. This thesis examines the notion of tree heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand at this current point in time and questions what it is, how it comes about, and what values, meanings and understandings and human and non-human forces are at its heart. While the acknowledgement of arboreal heritage can be regarded as the duty of all New Zealanders, its maintenance and protection are most often perceived to be the responsibility of local authorities and heritage practitioners. This study questions the validity of the evaluation methods currently employed in the tree heritage listing process, tree listing itself, and the efficacy of tree protection provisions. The thesis presents a multiple case study of discrete sites of arboreal heritage that are all associated with a single native tree species—karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus). The focus of the case studies is not on the trees themselves, however, but on the ways in which the tree sites fill the heritage roles required of them entailing an examination of the complicated networks of trees, people, events, organisations, policies and politics situated within the case studies, and within arboreal heritage itself. Accordingly, the thesis adopts a critical theoretical perspective, informed by various interpretations of Actor Network Theory and Assemblage Theory, and takes a ‘counter-’approach to the authorised heritage discourse introducing a new notion of an ‘unauthorised arboreal heritage discourse’.

  • Modeling Site Effects in the Lower Hutt Valley, New Zealand
    2694 MODELING SITE EFFECTS IN THE LOWER HUTT VALLEY, NEW ZEALAND Brian M ADAMS1, John B BERRILL2, Rob O DAVIS3 And John J TABER4 SUMMARY Lower Hutt City lies atop a wedge of Quaternary sediments forming a long alluvial valley. On its western edge the sediments butt up against the near vertical wall of the potentially active Wellington Fault, capable of an earthquake of moment magnitude 7.6. A two-dimensional linear finite-element method has been used to model the propagation of antiplane SH waves within the soft sediments and surrounding bedrock. The technique has proved to be an efficient and accurate means of modeling fine geological detail. Two detailed geological cross-sections through the Lower Hutt were modeled to gain an overall impression of the valley's seismic behaviour. It was found that horizontally propagating surface waves, generated at the valley edges, are the cause of significant amplification. The aptly named basin-edge effect – speculated to be the cause of a belt of severe shaking during the 1995 Kobe earthquake – is observed in the simulation results, occuring some 70-200 metres out from the fault. Fourier spectral ratios across the valley indicate a behaviour dominated by two-dimensional resonance, and compare favourably in magnitude with previously collected weak motion data. Certain resonant frequencies within the range 0.3-2.5 hertz are amplified up to 14 times that for nearby outcropping bedrock. Results are likely to be conservative due to the linear modeling, yet exclude fault-rupture effects due to the teleseismic nature of the input scheme. INTRODUCTION In this paper we describe our use of a two-dimensional finite-element numerical scheme to simulate ground motions from earthquake shaking in the soft sediments in-filling the Lower Hutt Valley.

Summary of Findings Population and projections (2018 Census) ● Population: The WCT region is home to around 469,047 people, or 9.8% of New Zealand’s population. It has five territorial authority areas. Two thirds of the people in the WCT region reside in two of these five areas – Wellington City (45%) and Lower Hutt City (22%). Porirua has 12% of the WCT population, followed by 11% in Kapiti Coast District and 9% in Upper Hutt City. ● Population projection: The WCT region’s population will increase by 11% by 2038. Projected population growth in the region is lower than the projected New Zealand average (20%). This means that by 2038, the WCT region is projected to represent a slightly reduced 9.0% of New Zealand’s population. ● Ethnicity: Porirua (22%) and Lower Hutt (10%) have populations with the highest proportion of Pacific Peoples in the WCT region. Both areas also have the populations with the highest proportion of Māori (18% and 16% respectively). Population projections show that Māori and Pacific communities will grow further in proportion in these two areas by 2038.

  • Distribution of Geological Materials in Lower Hutt and Porirua, New Zealand a Component of a Ground Shaking Hazard Assessment
    332 DISTRIBUTION OF GEOLOGICAL MATERIALS IN LOWER HUTT AND PORIRUA, NEW ZEALAND A COMPONENT OF A GROUND SHAKING HAZARD ASSESSMENT G. D. Dellow1 , S. A. L. Read 1 , J. G. Begg1 , R. J. Van Dissen1 , N. D. Perrin1 ABSTRACT Geological materials in the Lower Hutt, Eastbourne, Wainuiomata, and Porirua urban areas are mapped and described as part of a multi-disciplinary assessment of seismic ground shaking hazards. Emphasis is mainly on the flat-lying parts of these areas which are underlain by variable Quaternary-age sediments that overlie Permian-Mesowic age 'greywacke' bedrock. Within the Quaternary-age sediments, the two material types recognised on strength characteristics are: 1) Soft sediments, typically composed of normally consolidated, fine-grained materials (sand, silt and clay), with typical standard penetration values (SPT) of <20 blows/300 mm; and 2) Loose to compact coarser-grained materials (sand, gravel), with SPT values of > 20 blows/ 300 mm. The total thickness and nature of Quaternary-age sediments in the study areas is described, with particular emphasis on the thickness and geotechnical properties of near-surface sediments. Such sediments are considered likely to have a significant influence on the an1plification and attenuation of ground shaking intensity during earthquakes. In the Lower Hutt valley, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of -16 kni. Such soft sediments underlie much of Petone and the Lower Hutt urban and city centres, and have a maximum known thickness of 27 m near the western end of the Petone foreshore. In the Wainuiomata area, near-surface soft sediments greater than 10 m thick have an areal extent of - 3 krn2, and attain a maximum thickness of 32 m.

  • Wainuiomata Central Place Name Origins
    WainuiomataCentralPlaceNames.docx WAINUIOMATA CENTRAL PLACE NAME ORIGINS This document is about the origin of the names of various features of Central Wainuiomata on the flat area such as houses, parks and suburb names. It excludes road and street names. Wainuiomata is named after the big water or stream of Mata. Wai means water. Nui means big. O means of. Mata refers to a woman's name Roimata. This is an official version. The origins of the word are disputed and other commonly accepted translations are: - Refers to the women living in the now Hutt Valley who came over the Wainuiomata Hill to evade marauding tribes. These tribes in about 1819 were carrying muskets that came north from the Paremata area. In the battle the local tribes were said to have been destroyed. The Paremata Maoris came across the remaining women who were sitting wailing by the stream after the slaughter of their menfolk. From this we have “faces streaming with water”, “tears” or “weeping water”. - Refers to the large pools of water which lay over the swampy surface of the northern end of the Valley, or the river itself which is known to flood the Coast Road / Wainuiomata Valley. From this it can also mean large river from the swamp. - Refers to the whitebait that are present at the mouth of the river. Mata means whitebait. From this we have big river of whitebait. - Refers to flint or obsidian which is hard rock found in the headwaters of the river. - Refers to the origin and personification of water. The area for the purposes of this document covers is from the head of the Wainuiomata River to the mouth where it enters the sea at the Wainuiomata Coast and its tributaries.
