Hui tahi tātou o Porirua

ENGAGING OUR COMMUNITY

Your feedback Eastern Porirua is changing over the next 20–25 years. Our mahi needs to reflect our communities now and in the future, so we need to understand how people live in and use the area.

In June, we held Hui tahi tātou o Porirua. At the hui the community provided feedback on: Spatial Plan (key areas where we can make eastern Porirua better), Transport Plan, Neighbourhood Plans and the Outcomes Monitoring and Evaluation Framework.

Continued on the next page

Your feedback from Hui tahi tātou o Porirua (Continued)

The response was huge:

5,427 people visited the event

2,500

leaves with people’s thoughts, ideas and suggestions ‘grew’ on our feedback tree

42

talanoa sessions gave us nearly 20,000 community responses

So what’s next?

Te Rā Nui team will be working on four important actions: 1. Using your feedback: We’ll use most of your feedback for the Spatial Plan, the Transport Business Case and other programmes. For feedback where we can’t take action, we’ll pass it on to the people who can such as Porirua City Council, Ministry of Social Development, Te Whatu Ora and others.

2. Reporting back to you: We’ve made a summary of the key themes and feedback we heard from you – what’s important and the things we should focus on.

You can find this on our website and we will be at Creekfest 2023 to share it with you in person.

3. Revising the Spatial Plan: We have reworked the Spatial Plan to include the key themes and actions. This will be available to view at Creekfest 2023.

4. Developing the Transport Business Case: This will set out how we’ll get from A to B in eastern Porirua, how the community will benefit and how much it will cost. Te Rā Nui is working with Waka Kotahi and Porirua City Council to help design and deliver this. Then it needs to be reviewed and signed off by Kāinga Ora, Waka Kotahi, Porirua City Council, Ngāti Toa Rangatira and Greater Wellington Regional Council. After that, we’ll be able to share details of what’s happening and when.

Te Rā Nui our name Ngāti Toa Rangatira have gifted us a name to better reflect the mahi we are aspiring to achieve in eastern Porirua. Te Rā Nui speaks of the ‘rising sun of a great new day’ – bringing new light, new energy and a greater sense of wellbeing to Porirua’s land and people.

The name beautifully captures our purpose, the area’s mana and the important work we do for and with the people who live here.

Te Rā Nui represents the hopes and dreams of the community. Many came here in search of a better life for themselves and their whānau.

Our ‘great new day’ sees this community setting off on a new journey towards an even brighter future.

Local artist James Molnar helped us capture the essence of our name. He created a sketch of Porirua’s landscape bathing in the rising sun. Living within its hills and valleys are the many people who make Porirua their home.

To develop our logo, the sketch was simplified.

It represents the sun rising over Porirua’s two harbours as well as the eastern Porirua Development programme and the local community working hand in hand.

A new website teranuidevelopment.co.nz Our new website has all the content you’ve enjoyed on our old website and makes it easier to find the latest news and information about the development.

We’ve also added a cool new feature – an interactive map. You can explore, zoom in and click into the map to find out more about what’s happening and when. Have a play – we think you’ll love it.

• We begin working with our customers who need to move out of their homes to allow the new homes to be built.

• As we learn more about our customers, we design what needs to happen on each site – like new infrastructure – and work through approvals for the planned new houses.

• Te Aranga Alliance prepares the land for building.

It removes old houses and upgrades the water, power and wastewater pipes to support the new homes. This is called civil works.

• We then start building new homes.

On track Bothamley Park update

Will’s Note

Will Pennington Project Director

What’s been done • Three stream bank improvements completed east of the car park between Champion Street and Windley Street.

• Planned tree felling nearing completion.

• Four old public houses demolished to enable access to work site.

• Works under way in Champion Street, including constructing a temporary roundabout on Mungavin Avenue to help with traffic flow, replacing 300m of leaky pipes in the area and installing the new, larger pipes that run through Bothamley Park.

• A specialist horizontal drilling contractor is now on site to install over 1km of wastewater pipes. There has been a significant amount of work completed to prepare for this, including: – installing two temporary vehicle bridges across Kenepuru Stream – constructing temporary concrete foundations – installing two drill casings crossing Kenepuru Stream – completing 12,000m³ of bulk earthworks – constructing two large holding ponds for drilling fluids – diverting 200m of existing wastewater pipes.

Upcoming plans • Complete the wastewater and replacement watermain (for fresh drinking water) installation in Champion Street by the end of February 2024.

• As part of the horizontal directional drilling works, we expect two of the five underground pipe sections to be complete by the end of 2023.

• Install a third temporary bridge crossing Cannons Creek.

• Complete remaining stream bank improvements by the end of 2023.

• Install the connecting pipework from Mepham Place to the pipework already completed in Champion Street by the end of February 2024.

The last few months have been quite busy for Te Rā Nui. I enjoyed meeting so many of you from our local community at Hui tahi tātou o Porirua. Thanks to the many who helped make this event possible. Most importantly, my thanks to you, the community, for sharing your thoughts. It is always so humbling and encouraging for me to hear the passion you have for eastern Porirua and the things we have planned”.

We’re making great progress on replacing the wastewater pipes through Bothamley Park.

I understand the disruption that closing Bothamley Park and parts of Champion Street has on you. Thank you for your patience as we do the mahi that will be so beneficial for our community.

Meet Josh Clark especially the focus on family and of course the amazing food.

Senior Stakeholder Relationship Manager Can you tell us a bit about yourself, Josh?

My family is part Samoan, including my step mum, brothers and sister.

I feel a strong sense of connection to the Samoan culture,
