I am honoured to have the privilege of serving Te Awakarangi and to support the kaitiakitanga of our special environment with the Whaitua Te Whanganui-a-Tara committee. We are looking forward to working with you to maintain and improve the quality of the water in our catchments. Growing population is placing an immense pressure on our waste and stormwater pipes. We need to fix our infrastructure to leave a healthier catchment to our children, and fixing infrastructure is costly. These are big changes, and needs to reflect our communities’ views informed by good evidence and information to find solutions that are fair and equitable.
Come and talk to me about what we can do together. Connect with us to talk about what we can do together. You can reach us at whaitua@gw.govt.nz. To see what we have been doing visit our Facebook page, and to share what you value about our water and your solutions have your say by following the link below.

The area is not a recreational swimming site, however signage will be placed as a precaution until testing indicates water quality has returned to safe levels. Sampling will also be undertaken at Oriental Bay and the Whairepo Lagoon as a precaution, however it is not expected that these areas will be impacted due to dilution.
Wellington Water's water quality monitoring programme enables rapid detection and response to contamination events. Response thresholds are deliberately set at precautionary levels in order to minimise public risk.
Updates on the situation will be provided on Wellington Water's website and social media.
Hey Neighbours!
I wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who has bought and respected our little plant stand and honesty box at 11a Beach Street!
We really appreciate you!
Unfortunately due to a rather large theft of plants from the stand last night, we will only be putting them out on weekends… View moreHey Neighbours!

We really appreciate you!
Unfortunately due to a rather large theft of plants from the stand last night, we will only be putting them out on weekends during daylight hours.
It was pretty disheartening to see this morning but we’ll not let a few ruin it for the many!
Thanks again

I can hear it very clearly from my home.
The Zoo is generally quiet from very early evening and through the night. The animals will be used to the dark and quiet at this time, where they get some respite from being caged entertainment. But every now and then the evening brings more human harassment in the form of fantastically loud music and often chattering or yelling humans, that subjects these animals to further stress, sometimes until after midnight.
The Zoo told me this is done to make money. It’s punishment on top of punishment for animals, dressed up as both fun and conservation. It makes my skin crawl hearing this in our neighbourhood.
If you’re confused about the conservation façade, read from the many experts and research to understand that Zoos are really just recreation. And not for the animals.
Why does Wellington Zoo need to make it even worse?

FOUND!!! After 8 days missing - healthy and hungry. He had got into the roof cavity of a neighbouring property then fallen down a hole and unable to get out. His owner heard his calls for help and we followed the noise. THANKS to all the neighbours who helped search and allowed us to search their properties, some several times.
Hi there,
Is there a kind neighbour who could help with the loan of a weedeater to bring lawn down.
Or any other good suggestions.
This is to help a disabled person unable to do his lawn.
Location is Southgate.
Thank you so much.
Please kindly PM me.
With thanks.
