NIWA air quality scientist Dr Ian Longley said air pollution caused by woodburners was among the worst kind. He said all the towns that have this significant winter time air pollution problem have substantial levels of solid fuel heating in homes. “The smoke that s generated pretty much just settles there for several hours and accumulates.” He said this form of air pollution from solid fuel burners was particularly damaging and resulted in more doctors visits for these conditions when levels were high. It also heightened population risk for heart disease, strokes, and with high exposure can cause reduced lung development in children.

Press Release – Greater Wellington Regional Council
This week Greater Wellington staff donated $12,000 to Wellington City Mission in support of the charity’s work in our region.
General Manager of Corporate Services Samantha Gain is delighted with the sum, which was raised from the sale of second-hand furniture and equipment as staff shifted offices late last year.
“Our move to Cuba St saw our Wellington-based people reunite under one roof for the first time in half a decade, after earthquake damage caused us to scatter throughout the city. When considering what to do with excess furniture and supplies, it was really important for us to be as sustainable as possible. We donated a lot of furniture, homeware and crockery directly to homeless charities and the Salvation Army. The office furniture that we couldn’t reuse were offered to staff for koha.

The 2021 Regional Land Transport Plan (RLTP) was adopted at today’s regional council meeting. The RLTP integrates transport planning for the region, outlines the strategic direction for transport and details transport investment planned for the next six years in the context of consistency with the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport.
“This is a timely plan and a great day for a region looking ahead at the fundamental role of transport in regional development and its role in climate change mitigation”, says Greater Wellington Chair Daran Ponter.
“The plan will move us towards a safer and more sustainable transport network. It provides for efficient connections that make it easier to move people and freight, and has a direct impact on making the region a desirable place in which to live and work.”
