A partnership of Wairarapa farmers is a part of a growing
wetland restoration movement to build community resilience
against flooding, drought, landslides and water
pollution.
Since 2016, the partnership has been
proactively fencing off stock, planting native plants and
trapping pest animals to restore wetlands and surrounding
areas on Hapua farm. However, restoration work began over a
decade ago.
The Hapua partnership is supported by
Greater Wellington’s Healthy Waterways Programme that
assists landowners to restore and manage wetlands and
waterways on the partnership’s property.
The
Wairarapa has seen significant reduction in wetlands as a
result of human interference and earthquake

The 2.4 kilometre ‘’Golden Mile’’ from Lambton Quay to the end of Courtenay Place is not only the heart of Wellington’s nightlife and retail but is the central spine of the public transport network. Almost 95 per cent of buses in Wellington’s centre city pass through the Golden Mile and, on average, other vehicles delay each trip by an average of 3 minutes and 40 seconds.

But is has also warned the capital s public sector is both a strength and vulnerability.
The city council has commissioned Infometrics for the economic advice as it undergoes a review of its Long Term Plan this year.
The forecasts are based on the assumption there will be no further nationwide Covid-19 lockdowns, that a transtasman bubble is implemented in the second quarter of 2021, and that the country s border is fully reopened in 2022.
