Be aware of parking tickets at Pataka!

Heidrun from Tawa

Hi everybody,
last week I received a “Parking Breach Notice” of $65 (!) on the parking area opposite the Porirua Library on 19 Parumoana Street (“Harvey Norman”). The area is huge and mostly empty and very tempting. For many years I have parked there to nip into the library, and it was … View more
Hi everybody,
last week I received a “Parking Breach Notice” of $65 (!) on the parking area opposite the Porirua Library on 19 Parumoana Street (“Harvey Norman”). The area is huge and mostly empty and very tempting. For many years I have parked there to nip into the library, and it was never an issue.
But obviously the rules have changed all of a sudden, and only customers of Harvey Norman are allowed to park there.

So be aware if you want to visit Pataka, the café, or the Porirua library!

It is very misleading that there is a walkway between Pataka and the car park, as this implies parking is permitted for that purpose (see attached pictures). But the Porirua City Council tells me you have to use the car park at the swimming pool now.

SPCA Pet of the Day: Luke the Rabbit

Just before Christmas, five rabbits were found in a box in a Levin, left to fend for themselves with no home and no family. Four rabbits quickly became 11 after one gave birth to seven baby rabbits!

"I was born in SPCA's care after my mum was left in a box on the steps of SPCA Levin. Now I am here at SPCA Wellington looking for a forever home and a second chance at happiness.
All I've known is life in SPCA's care and now my caregivers want to find me a home to call my own and where I can binky, run and play to my heart's content. I may not look like your average domestic rabbit (you can blame my dad's genes for that!), but I have a sweet personality that I'd love to share with my loving family! I would love a home with a female rabbit to be friends with. I will need a secure outdoor pen for daytime, and an indoor space for nighttime so I can be a part of the family."

Should Wellington unearth its streams. Wellington has 700km 700km of culverted streams within the Wellington city limits, compared to as little as 60km of open streams.
Around the world cities are dayligting streams – the process of digging urban streams out of darkness to restore them to their more natural conditions.
Daylighted streams do a better job of retaining and distributing nutrients for plants and wildlife, can act as a natural water filter, and are less vulnerable to flooding
They can also add a lot of vibrancy to public space, Blaschke said.
Tell us what you think of bringing streams like Waitangi Stream (pictured) back to life?
