PCC has provided an update on the slip remedial works on the track to Brendan Beach
Monitoring and geo-technical work is ongoing at the slip below the Pukerua Bay lookout on SH59.
This project is being led by Wellington Transport Alliance (WTA), in partnership with the various land owners in that area, including Porirua City Council.
In February this year, technical experts from WTA installed a number of geo-technical survey pins across the slip site. These are being regularly monitored to assess for land movement and so far there has been no significant land movement.
Remote tilt sensors have also been recently installed to provide another source of data for the slip assessment.
This information will help guide the project’s next steps regarding what further slip assessments are required and how best to manage the land in the short and long term.
In the meantime, the pathway from the lookout car park to Brendan Beach will remain closed as it is not safe for the public to use.

Waka Kotahi has advised there will be two sets of works being undertaken in the next few days.
Sunday night (6 August 2023), a road repair will be done on SH59 near the corner of Wairaka Road. This was notified to the neighbours for Thursday but weather has pushed it out to Sunday – also weather permitting.
Monday night (7 August 2023) the watermain service lid at the intersection of SH59 and Gray Street will be lifted and given a concrete surround to make it level with the road. Service lid lifting is something that a team travels the highway network doing some time after road repairs and resurfacing jobs have been done. It can’t be done at the time of the works because of the extreme heat of the asphalt when it is laid.
Good news to all those who drive into Gray St from SH59. Waka Kotahi has advised that, subject to weather conditions,work will be carried out to fix the intersection, removing the somewhat bumpy surface and replacing it with a smoothe one.
The work will be undertaken on Sunday evening and will not take all night.
Waka Kotahi has apologised for the time it has taken to fix the intersection.
