Pinehaven Stream Improvements
From tomorrow, we will be doing site investigations to complete the design work for the proposed new culverts in Sunbrae Drive and in Pinehaven Road as part of our Pinehaven Stream Improvements project.
The investigation work will take about two weeks from 10 July to 24 July 2019 weather dependent. Hours of work will generally be:
• 7am – 6pm Monday to Saturday - Sunbrae Drive
• 7am - 6pm Monday to Saturday- Pinehaven Road
Work areas will be fenced off, and it is not expected that traffic flows or access to properties will be significantly disrupted. Bus stops on Sunbrae Drive and Pinehaven Road will need to be temporarily relocated. The bus stops on both sides of Sunbrae Drive will be moved up the road near to the intersection with Tapestry Grove. The bus stop on Pinehaven Road will be moved a few meters up the road.
On-street parking in the area alongside the worksite may be restricted, and we ask that you please do not park your vehicle within the coned areas. This will help us get our work done as quickly as possible.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
