Remutaka Hill Rd overnight closures will cause disruption

Shiftworkers and travellers heading across the Remutaka Range at night could be caught out by overnight closures planned for the busy road in the coming months.
NZ Transport Agency is planning a round of night closures on the busy road to prevent daytime disruption.
Twenty-two nights of maintenance from 9pm-4am over the next several months are scheduled to start on November 8, some of which are planned in five-day blocks.
Carterton nurse Michelle Wilson who works at Hutt Hospital was disappointed commuters weren’t given more notice, as her roster for next month was already set.

Tap Fusion opens Wellington Fringe Festival

TAP Fusion

New Zealand’s home-grown Tap Dance show, Tap Fusion, will be opening the Wellington Fringe Festival at the Hannah Theatre this weekend. The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.

Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.

Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February. Buy tickets here
