    Level 3 Chamber of Commerce House 15 Daly Street Lower Hutt Wellington 5010 New Zealand 30 April 2021 Hon Michael Wood Minister of Transport By email; [email protected] Dear Minister, NZ Upgrade Programme – Melling Interchange The Board and membership of the Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce and Industry is alarmed and deeply disappointed to read recent media articles regarding the inclusion of Melling Interchange in the Government’s reassessment of infrastructure development projects. As you may be aware the Hutt Valley Chamber has been calling for the re-development of the Melling Interchange with SH2 for many years. As a national roading project the current Melling/SH2 intersection is completely inadequate, causing traffic bottlenecks daily and regular accidents. It is a crucial piece of local infrastructure that is a constant chokepoint for all our businesses trying to move people, materials and products around the valley, the region, and nationally. It is an economic drain on our local Hutt Valley economy as well as the wider Wellington region and continues to get worse every year. However, it is not a stand alone transport project. The redevelopment of the SH2/Melling interchange underpins the greater RiverLink project which completely transforms the Lower Hutt city centre. RiverLink is regarded as a shining example of how Waka Kotahi, the Greater Wellington Regional Council and the Hutt City Council can work collaboratively, leveraging combined budgets to deliver a single project in a cohesive manner. It includes improving public transport to the city centre with upgraded railway infrastructure, new active transport modes with cycling and walking, as well as enabling new housing options for city centre residents.

  • Newsletter January 2015
    Friends of Baring Head Newsletter Visit us on line at http://www.baringhead.org.nz/ or follow us on Facebook January 2015 Number 9 Message from the Chair The regional park at Baring Head provides visitors with all sorts of recreation activities as well as opportunities for volunteer workers to protect and enhance the environment. For some time now the Friends have been thinking how to allow visitors and volunteers to combine their involvement in both of these interests and the first trip we’ve arranged for summer 2014/15 showed us this approach has real possibilities. The Friends arranged with a four-wheel drive group, the Cross Country Group, to transport people over to the Fitzroy Bay beach from the bridge car-park for a small charge. Available seats were in great demand, with some people having to be asked to wait for trips later in the summer. Many of those lucky enough to claim a seat hadn’t previously been to Baring Head and some weren’t even sure where it was! The first part of the trip was to the coast where, after an introductory talk and a chance to look at a new beachcombing booklet (see below in Finding out about what your beachcombing turns up) visitors were able to walk along the beach, finding treasures, removing horned poppy and picking up rubbish. The much- reduced horned poppy density is obvious along the sections of the beach that have been tackled – good work previous visitors and volunteers! On this occasion, more of the weed was cleared, particularly further south and near the climbing rocks.

  • 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.

    Mahere-ā-Tau 2020/21 Annual Plan 2020/21 WHAT GREATER WELLINGTON DOES IN OUR REGION Greater Wellington has a role as an environmental protection organisation for our region. Greater Wellington has another role as the owner of Metlink, the organisation that delivers public transport across the region. Now, these might seem like incompatible roles but that’s not necessarily the case. More people using public transport, means fewer cars on the road, means less pollution and a cleaner environment. Further down, you’ll find more information about what Greater Wellington does across the region.
