Speed to drop on Porirua roads
Speed limits on eight rural Porirua roads should be nearly halved, the councillors have decided.
Harris Road, Moonshine Road, Flightys Road, Murphys Road, Mulhern Road, Bradey Road, Belmont Road and Coroglen Rise, off Airlie Road, should all drop from 100km/h to 60km/h, councillors decided earlier this month.
The proposed changes will now go to NZTA for approval.

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.

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!
