Proposed Commercial Vehicle Safety Centre at Mackays....
This proposed construction will affect the safety of thousands of recreational users in both QE Park and Whareroa Farm Park. Heavy trucks are going to be stopped regularly on SH1 to be weighed and tested before going onto the new Transmission Gully Expressway. This will increase the possibility of collision as they are pulled off SH1 and expected to drive onto a small rural road. And then, if the heavy trucks want to go North, they will have to drive under an inadequate underpass along with increased traffic from all residents in Paekakariki. As we have just been informed their only way onto the new expressway will be to come up to MacKays, go through the underpass and around Emerald Glen roundabout, which is also too small and inadequate for all the increased traffic use.
Those of us who might like to walk, ride a bike or a horse in this area will be taking our lives into our hands. NZTA, DOC and NZ Police need to be held accountable for the safety of ALL road users and recreational users.
We have only had one public information meeting about this proposed building.
A small, yet dedicated team of residents from Emerald Glen Road have been corresponding with NZTA and the Minister of Transport since September 2019.
It appears no one is taking into account the multiple safety issues being raised. This includes that the proposed building will be constructed over an active earthquake fault line.
Please share widely as there are potentially 500,000 people in the Wellington Region who will be affected by the construction of this planned building. We also know there are five other safer sites that have been identified and NZTA refuse to acknowledge or even consider using them.

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!
