Waitangirua/Whitby Watermain Extension Project

The Team from Wellington Water

Our work on installing a large additional watermain pipe in Omapere Street, Warspite Avenue and Cleat Street, Waitangirua/Whitby begins next week.

Hours of work will generally be 8am-4pm Monday to Friday, with some Saturdays worked if necessary.

While work areas will be fenced off, we will make sure residents have access to their property at all times. There may be times when a contractor needs to gain access to a property, in this case residents will be given at least 24 hours’ notice of this.

When we are working within the Skyline Reserve, it will be necessary to temporarily close the pedestrian footpath from Omapere Street to Staysail Place from 8 April until early-June 2019. This will help us get the work done as quickly as possible and keep the public safe. This closure is identified in the map below.

On-street car 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 the work done as quickly as possible. There may be some delay for traffic passing through the worksite during working hours as well.

All updates on this project will be available on our website.

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.

Update on the Maclean skate park development

Glen Olsen from Parapraumu Community Board

On Tuesday the Paraparaumu Community Board and elected members where given a walk through of the Maclean skate park development. It’s great to see that work is on schedule, on budget and it is looking amazing, looking forward to the skate park being a regional draw card again as it used to be when it was in its prime, more visitors to the area is a positive for the our local beach businesses!

Tarn Sheerin from the Raumati Community Board joined us for the walk through and after wrote (Photos also credited to Tarn):

I've not been on a skateboard since the 90s, but today, walking through the soonish to be completed new skatepark in Paraparaumu, I had a massive urge to drop into the bowl. But at my age, I would probably break a hip or someone else's and no one wants that 😆
I think the Kapiti Coast District Council staff and the team at Angus McMillan Concrete have done an outstanding job and I can't wait to hear how our youth and our visitors to the area love the new park, which is due to open in the new year🛹🛹🛹
There will be colour in the concrete, art by local graffiti artists and I'm hoping that KCDC will put on a public BBQ for everyone when the park is officially opened... 🛹🍖🌭
Angus McMillan Concrete have made over 30 skate parks, the staff all skate, well apart from Angus, who hasnever skated before.. but your never too old to learn right Angus!! Thanks team, we appreciate all your hard work
