What’s new at RiverLink?
RiverLink in Lower Hutt is currently at the consenting phase and we are working to develop the design for RiverLink and preparing to apply for resource consents.
During this stage we will also start to consider construction plans. As the project progresses we will keep you informed, share our progress, and ask you for feedback on the designs and concepts we’re working on.
COVID-19 has had an impact on the project’s timeframes and, like many other organisations and projects around New Zealand, we need to adapt. We will continue to update you on developments.
If you have any questions about RiverLink, please get in contact with us on RiverLink@gw.govt.nz

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
