Work started on River Trail
Work has begun on stabilising the banks of Te Awa Kairangi/Hutt River at Heretaunga, near the Royal Wellington Golf Club.
The work is part of a bigger flood protection project, estimated to be around $17.5 million.
Erosion from severe weather in July has undermined the riverbank and adjacent Hutt River Trail, taking out up to 20 metres of the bank. The trail has been severely damaged, making it too dangerous to use near the club. It has been closed until the repairs, estimated at $1.95 million, are completed.
Greater Wellington Cr Roz Connelly says the speed of the response reflects how much use the popular walkway gets.
"It is very good news and it reflects how much loved it is and how much use it gets, so we have got on to it quickly."

Speed limits around NaeNae
Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
