Gibbons Street wastewater pipe project
We are moving into the tenth week of the 24 week project to renew the wastewater pipe in Gibbons Street, Upper Hutt.
On 7 May 2019, it is expected that the project will move back to installing the trunk sewer main, from Hall Grove to Bonnie Glen Crescent for the next three weeks.
This means that there will be a full closure to through traffic between the roundabout to Victoria Street of Gibbons Street with a detour via Pine Avenue from 7 May until 30 May 2019. Resident access into the area will be maintained.
All through traffic exiting off SH2 into Gibbons Street will continue to be diverted along the detour route to get back onto Gibbons Street (as pictured).
It is also expected that some properties in Gibbons Street will continue to be affected regarding property access. We will be in touch with those property owners well before this happens.
On-street parking in the area alongside the worksite will be restricted and we ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas. This will help us to get our work done as quickly as possible.

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!
