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.

Waka Kotahi (NZTA) has advised that a small team will be in Pukerua Bay tomorrow Thursday night, weather permitting, to clear slips from the footpath in the area of SH 59 between Pukerua Beach Road and Wairaka Road.
This will be one of several minor slip-clearing jobs around the highway network that the team will be undertaking tomorrow night so Waka Kotahi cannot say what time the team will arrive. It should only take an hour or so.

The entrance to Gray Street from SH59 is on the PCC books for remediation over summer. As anyone driving over it will know the rate of deterioration seems to be increasing. Remediation works, digging out and are dependant on the ground under the new material being dry enough to be consolidated and ready to be asphalted. The road has been marked out for some time in preparation for the works.

Pukerua Bay shared pathway – Stage Two improvements planned
Work to continue improving the shared pathway intersection connections through Pukerua Bay is due to start on Friday 25 November 2022 .
This work is Stage Two of a project that began last year.
The first part of this project will involve upgrades to the intersections at Pukerua Beach Rd, Haunui Rd, and SH59.
Proposed works
Extensive traffic management will be in place for all works so residents can expect some disruptions while the works are completed.
Porirua City Council is managing the project, which is 100 percent funded by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency through its programme of highway cycle improvements.
Stage One improvements completed
Stage one of this project was completed in July 2021.
It included the following improvements:
*NB: In response to resident’s requests, extensive conversations were had with Waka Kotahi about installing a barrier or similar at the bottom of the zig-zag path to stop an errant rider from landing on SH59, however the barrier needed to be able to be compliant for vehicle drivers and not just provide protection for cyclists which meant that what was suitable for protecting cyclists was not safe or acceptable for the road environment and passing traffic. We have therefore opted to remove a couple of trees at the bottom of the zig-zag and widen the path to improve sightlines between path users at this pinch point.
