  • 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.

It is intended that subdivisions and residential buildings will be: sensitive to the unique rural landscapes of Wellington; environmentally sustainable; attractive places to live; and efficiently integrated into the infrastructure of services. When planning new development the amenity of both existing residents as well as newcomers must be considered. Privacy, shelter, access to open space, the maintenance of a quiet environment, and security need to be thought about to ensure the quality of lifestyle is sustained for existing residents while offering the same for newcomers.

  • Dry for Northern North Island, Wet for Much of South Island
    New Zealand Climate Summary: September 2020 Issued: 6 October 2020 New Dry for northern North Island, wet for much of South Island Rainfall Rainfall was well below normal (<50% of normal) for much of Northland, Auckland, Coromandel Peninsula, and Bay of Plenty. Below normal rainfall (50-79% of normal) was observed in much of Waikato, East Cape, Gisborne and coastal parts of northern Taranaki. Above normal (120-149% of normal) or well above normal (>149% of normal) rainfall was observed in much of the South Island and the southern North Island including Southland, western and central Otago, north Canterbury, the northern West Coast, Wellington, Wairarapa, the Kapiti Coast and Manawatu- Whanganui. Rainfall was typically below normal for easternmost parts of the South Island from Christchurch to Dunedin. Temperature Temperatures were near average (±0.50°C of average) for most of the country. Temperatures were above average (0.51°C to 1.2°C above average) in eastern parts of Otago, Canterbury, Hawke’s Bay and Gisborne, as well as northern parts of Tasman and Marlborough. Soil Moisture As of 1 October, soil moisture was lower than normal for eastern parts of Otago and Canterbury from Dunedin to Christchurch, as well as parts of Northland, Auckland, coastal Bay of Plenty and East Cape. Soil moisture was considerably lower than normal in North Otago and South Canterbury – these areas were categorised as “Dry” or “Very Dry” according to NIWA’s New Zealand Drought Index. Soil moisture was higher than normal in parts of western Otago and eastern Marlborough. Soil moisture was typically near normal for remaining areas of New Zealand.

  • Nikau Within Wellington City Jonathan Anderson1
    Nikau within Wellington City Jonathan Anderson1 New Zealanders have enthusiastically adopted the nikau palm (Rhopalostylis sapida) and given it iconic status. It appears in our paintings, on our pottery and clothes, in the names of our businesses and even as part of our architecture, as seen in the metal nikau that surround Wellington’s public library (Fig. 1). Strangely, the palm is not seen where we would expect to see it—in the forests in and around the urban parts of the City. Yet nikau is an indigenous tree of the Wellington Peninsula (which roughly corresponds to the local government area of Wellington City). This may come as a surprise Figure 1. Steel nikau outside the Wellington if, like me, you associate nikau with Central Library. Photo: Neil Price, other places in the region, such Wellington City Council. as, the eastern side of the harbour (Butterfly Creek), the Porirua area (Porirua Reserve) and the Kapiti coast (Nikau Reserve). Where are Wellington’s nikau and why are they little known? LAND, CLIMATE AND FORESTS The Wellington Peninsula lies within the Cook Strait and Wellington Ecological Districts. It is characterised by relatively fertile soils derived from loess and weathered greywacke crushed by active faulting (Gabites 1993). The forest types have been described as coastal and semi-coastal forest, and inland, podocarp / broadleaved forest (Gabites 1993). A notable feature is the absence of beech (Nothofagus) species, the nearest being found on the opposite side of Wellington Harbour and on the hills of the eastern Hutt Valley. 1. 3 Quetta Street, Ngaio, Wellington 48 Anderson—Nikau in Wellington The land is subject to frequent winds off Cook Strait from the north- west and south-east.

  • Auckland/Wellington Public Transport Comparison
    Board Meeting | 29 April 2014 Agenda item no. 11i Closed Session Auckland/Wellington Public Transport Comparison Recommendation That the board: i. Receives the report. Executive summary A comparison of Auckland and Wellington rail services indicates that Auckland is more expensive than Wellington on a per passenger and per kilometre basis. Many of these key differences will be mitigated when Auckland introduces a new electric fleet of trains. Some are due to the mature nature of Wellington’s public transport usage and to topographical differences. Background The following analysis is not a comprehensive evaluation; it is a comparison of some key statistics at a point in time, based on publically available information. The time for a comprehensive comparison will be after new bus contracts are in place in both cities, having adopted the PTOM contracting model, and after Auckland’s electric trains are in service. Only then will more meaningful like with like comparisons be achievable. Nevertheless, the following quick snap-shot provides some useful insights. While the focus of this memo is on rail, the rail network does not exist in isolation from other public transport. For example, Auckland has a Northern Bus-way and makes extensive use of ferries. Comparison of the wider and integrated public transport system is also considered briefly. The greatest difference between the two cities relates to rail. Wellington has a relatively new electric train fleet servicing a long-established clientele; Auckland is about to change an old diesel service
