We are currently doing some seabed investigations in Evans Bay – you might have seen the jack-up barge and rig stationed there.

It’s an important part of the investigation work for the proposed Cross Harbour Pipeline, which aims to provide Wellington with an alternative water supply.

Some of the work needs to be done at night and the crew are focused on minimising the level of noise. The barge has also had acoustic curtains fitted to reduce noise levels (not pictured), which have been tested and fit within the District Plan limits. We’ll continue to monitor noise levels.

We apologise for any inconvenience while we are doing these important investigations.

Learn more about the Cross Harbour Pipeline on our website.

Due to the Wellington Water Omāroro Reservoir project, services that would usually travel via Wallace Street will be diverted via Wright Street from 8 December 2019 until mid-2020. Please expect some delays and diversions to bus services in the area.

Temporary bus stops will be installed on Wright Street which can be accessed from Wallace Street via a walkway.

To ease congestion in the area Route 27 services will not be stopping at Hutchinson Terminus. Route 27 will travel from Vogeltown along Hutchison Road directly onto Wright Street, bypassing the Hutchison Terminus, and vice versa.

The school bus Route 770 afternoon service will be diverted via Adelaide Road, this is consistent with the existing Route 770 morning service.

For more information on the temporary bus stops visit www.metlink.org.nz...

Hello neighbours!

Do you have any jobs to do before Christmas that you can't be bothered with?

Or simply just need a helping hand?

If so, I'm your guy.

I am an enthusiastic and hardworking 21 year old looking for some ways to earn a little bit of money before Christmas. I'm interested in any sort of work you might have - from gardening to babysitting to data analysis.

I have experience in section clearing, labouring, babysitting, painting, tutoring, water blasting, lifting, and more.

I've just graduated with an Economics degree from Cambridge University in the UK and I'm heading back there to work full-time after Christmas.

If you have any work or know of somebody who might please give me a buzz at 02102204948.

Thanks a lot!
Callum
