Wellington work skills programme changing lives, one tree at a time

Kate Green/Stuff Conservation Work Skills teams, including team leader and programme graduate Kiri Ericsson, have planted 7000 trees in the land around Baring Head Lighthouse in the past three years. When Kiri Ericsson looks out over the sparse land around Baring Head, in her mind she sees a forest. And in 50, perhaps 100 years, East Harbour Regional Park on the furthest point of the Wainuiomata coast will be covered in native trees, a testament to the work of many hands, and a reminder of the way Ericsson turned her own life around. Since 2018, the so-far 50 graduates of Conservation Volunteer NZ’s Conservation Work Skills programme have planted almost 7000 trees on the 33,000-hectare plot of Greater Wellington Regional Council land.

Local Government – Wastewater projects lined up for Titahi Bay

Source: Porirua City Council  The upgrade to Porirua’s Wastewater Treatment Plant is gathering pace, among other projects lined up for the facility and Titahi Bay. A report to this week’s Wastewater Treatment Plant and Landfill Joint Committee noted the ultra-violet equipment upgrade work, which began last month and carried out by Wellington Water, was forging ahead. The installation of the new UV system, costing $2.03 million, is part of a larger project which aims to significantly increase the volume of wastewater that can be fully treated from 1000 litres per second to 1550 litres per second. The upgrade will be completed by 2023. Currently the plant can receive up to 1300 litres per second during heavy rain, so there are times when wastewater that has only been through primary treatment is discharged off Rukutane Point, Titahi Bay.
