Fun-n-gala time! Are you keen to plant natives?

Visit our stall at the Pauatahanui School Lamb & Calf Day on Saturday 7 November and we will swap your weed with a lovely native plant. We will have specimens of pest animals that are threatening our native species and will provide trapping demonstrations. Loads of fun for the kids! We will have a catchment model at our stall to play with to learn about sediment, streams, gullies and wetlands.

Find out how you can improve the health of our waterways in the Pauatahanui area and inlet. Your efforts can boost biodiversity and reduce sediment levels in our streams through erosion control and planting. Staff will be available to offer advice and help find out if your property could get funding assistance. See you there.

Wellington needs to build more houses and the council is looking to rezone two large blocks of land between Tawa and Churton Park.
Upper Upper Stebbings and Glenside West are considered an attractive location for new housing being close to existing shops and services in Churton Park, Takapu Road and Tawa.
The population of Wellington City is expected to grow by 50,000 – 80,000 people over the next 30 years.
The council’s strategy to accommodate this growth includes intensification in the central city and around existing town centres, as well as developing new urban areas in Lincolnshire Farm, Upper Stebbings and Glenside West.
Do you support rezoning the land?

Fares on Metlink services across the region will be increasing in line with inflation from February 2021 following a recent decision by Greater Wellington.
In its annual fares review, Greater Wellington looks at the expectations of revenue and costs and determines what fare adjustments might be required for the following year to maintain good quality public transport services across the region.
One of the reasons given for the increase is a falling revenue due to Covid-19.
Under the changes most bus and rail non-cash fares including Snapper, 10-trip fares, rail monthly and MonthlyPlus passes and Wellington and Eastbourne 30 Day passes will see an average increase of 1.5 percent.
