Work began in early 2022 and while there have been delays, the completion of the project is at hand as the final landscaping touches are put in.
Over 500m2 of sludge from the former pond was either removed from site or treated in geobags last winter. Quarry rock and clay soil from behind Porirua Park was transported in as fill.
Parks & City Services Manager Julian Emeny says the final result is something the city will be proud of.
“This has not been an easy project for a number of reasons, much of it due to the low-lying ground and average weather conditions contractors have had to deal with, and this area is going to add to one of Porirua’s favourite places,” he says.

"After what seems an eternity since I last went bird spotting, I managed to get myself out to Silverstream 2 afternoons in a row! I can't believe how many kingfishers are around but most of the time, they have been too far away on the powerlines to get decent photos of but it was a bonus today seeing one on a post in the driving range car park!
I have also spent some time watching the pesky blackbirds and waxeyes munch their way through the grapes on the grapevine."

A seriously special Gala Celebration of
50 wonderful years.
We reconnected with old friends, enjoyed some celebratory bubbles, heard some lovely reflections, and a great keynote speech from Nick Leggett, ate a tasty dinner, enjoyed the company of our Rotary Friendship Exchange visitors from Wisconsin and were delighted to witness the awarding of three well-deserved Paul Harris Fellowships to Nick Leggett, Barbara Nichols and Phillip Reidy.
There will be much more detail to report next week by which time we will hopefully have very many memorable photos to look at in the Gallery. In the meantime, here are just a few important photos from this very special evening.
