Days Bay Wharf Refurbishment Update (5-Apr)

Good afternoon.

You may have been wondering about the start-up of the Days Bay Wharf project, which I had advised was going to commence at the beginning of this week. This is to let you know that the project start has been pushed back four weeks to the 29 April for two reasons.

The subcontractor who is to build the new walkway is not available until early May and this is the first main piece of work to be done once the site establishment has been completed.

We decided that there was no point in establishing on site and then have a hiatus period with virtually nothing happening.

The second reason is that for safety reasons and before the project starts, we are going to need to relocate the north-bound bus stop. This will be undertaken as part of the traffic management plan but needs a bit more time to be worked through and approved.

Thanks for your patience.

Lower Hutt War Memorial Library, 2 Queens Drive
Friday 5 April, 6:30pm

Light pollution is a worldwide problem, with the latest research showing impacts on human health & wildlife as well as masking our views of the universe we are part of.
We're in a period of rapid escalation of this issue, as we're changing the colour of light we're using as well as increasing the intensity of light pollution created.

In this talk Lee Mauger of the Martinborough Dark Sky Society will touch on the latest research on the impacts of light pollution and also talk about how the Wairarapa is looking to mitigate these problems through the creation of an International Dark Sky Reserve.

If the weather is clear we'll head outside after the talk and look through telescopes provided by the Wellington Astronomical Society. (Going by the forecast we might be trying out the telescopes indoors!)
