Event Details

WIN Wellington are delighted to invite you to a site visit to the Eastern Porirua Development construction works on Friday 15 March sponsored by Te Aranga Alliance.

The Porirua Development was announced in November 2018 to replace 2,000 existing state homes with new homes over a 20-year period, alongside bulk infrastructure improvements. The project objectives are to rejuvenate and increase state housing stock to deliver safe homes, provide additional housing stock to alleviate the housing crisis and uplift the wellbeing of the Porirua community. The project is being delivered by the Te Aranga Alliance for Kāinga Ora and Porirua City Council. 

Construction works are currently underway to undertake the upgrade of the wastewater trunk sewer pipe through Bothamley Park. The session will start in the site compound with a slide presentation giving an overview of the works as a whole, and the directional drilling taking place in the park. The group will then be taken down to a viewing platform overlooking the drilling site, where people can see the site setup and have the opportunity to ask questions. 

Full PPE will be required (hard hat, glasses, steel capped boots, hi-vis vest, arms and legs fully covered).
