Kiwi will be back in Wellington within 12 months.
Capital Kiwi’s mission to restore a wild kiwi population to the west coast of Wellington is bang on schedule, with all 4400 traps now on the ground, and the kiwi release on track for the end of 2021.
The restoration of native bush in Makara, as well as predator control efforts, have found a common goal in the return of the big brown kiwi, rōwī.
Before humans settled New Zealand, rōwī lived throughout the northern South Island and into the southern North Island, as far north as Hawke’s Bay.

Wellingtonians will soon have water meters, if Mayor Andy Foster has how way.
As part of a sweeping series of reforms, a Mayoral taskforce report found Wellington City Council should transfer ownership of its $3.86 billion worth of pipes to Wellington Water, which would independently charge residents for water.
Removing pipes from the council’s books would mean rates could be slashed by as much as a third, though whether that would mean savings for ratepayers would depend on the level of metering charges.
Transformational change was needed in all parts of water management in order to future-proof the city, Foster said. “Tinkering around the edges is not going to do it.”
