Service delays at the Kilbirnie bus hub
From 29 May, Services travelling through the Kilbirnie bus hub might experience delays while we construct a new safety fence at the hub. Please read our service update for more information. To help minimise disruption to Kilbirnie residents, we’ve teamed up with Wellington City Council so this work can happen at the same time as the bike path construction on Evans Bay Parade that continues to the Bay Road intersection. To find out more about the bike path construction please visit the page linked below.
At times during this work some bus stops at the Kilbirnie bus hub will be temporarily closed or relocated.
Make sure to check your timetable before you travel on metlink.org.nz or call 0800 801 700

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!
