Porirua Mayor Anita Baker welcomed the improvements designed to help manage the traffic growth anticipated from the opening of Transmission Gully and from other developments in the area.
"These initiatives will make it easier and safer for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists to access businesses, Kenepuru Landing, Summerset Retirement Village, Bishop Viard College and the city centre," she said.
A drop-in session will be held on Thursday 15 July between 5pm - 7pm, at the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 16 Kenepuru Drive. The main projects up for discussion are:
* Kenepuru Drive new intersections with Lyttelton Ave and Lower Main Drive
* Lower Main Drive to Ferry Place footpath (including the Lyttelton Ave/Walton Leigh Ave intersection upgrade)
At the Graeme Dingle Foundation we empower tamariki and rangatahi to overcome life's obstacles. Our programmes build resilience and open young eyes to new possibilities.

Year 13’s Nathaniel Salmon, Levi Ware and Kawharu Hippolite all agreed they were excited to take part in the fourth annual camp.
All three boys were proud Mana College students, and it meant a lot to them to represent the school at such a prestigious event.
This is free, needs fixing - falling apart a bit. Probably fine for someone who’s good at fixing things!
The bedside table is also free to take - also falling apart (the top comes off)

The 5.25km pathway around the northern side of the spectacular Pāuatahanui Inlet was pitched to Council in 1999 by members of the Rotary Club of Plimmerton.
The first turf was turned in 2005 and an official blessing and opening was held last week on 28 June at Motukaraka Point to recognise its completion. Porirua mayor Anita Baker said the tireless fundraising by Plimmerton Rotary – it contributed $1.3m towards the project – has created a much-loved walkway that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
Along with Rotary, Mayor Baker acknowledged Ngāti Toa for its continual support, contractors Fulton Hogan, consultants Tonkin & Taylor, DoC, Forest & Bird and the input of the organisations that have the best interests of the inlet at heart – Guardians of Pāuatahanui Inlet and Porirua Harbour & Catchment Community Trust. Current president of the Rotary Club of Plimmerton, Bill McAulay, said it was a brilliant achievement for the club.
Usage of Te Ara Piko was just over 64,000 in 2020, with the number of users growing each year as parts of the pathway were completed. It runs from Taylor Stace Cottage in Pāuatahanui to Camborne Walkway carpark.

So the 68 year-old Porirua pensioner has joined the growing number of older New Zealanders donating to “Share My Super”.
The non-profit service helps Kiwis over 65 donate to a range of charities by giving all, or part, of their superannuation payment to a charity.
A former civil servant, Gebbie shares his super with the Wellington City Mission and KidsCan. With the polar blast that just hit the Wellington region, he says it’s good to support charities that help keep children warm and safe.
