The community workshop on the draft Structure Plan for Pukerua Bay was well-attended, with animated discussions about the proposed housing developments and lots of feedback given. Read the feedback and comments here.
PCC is also planning to put all the feedback onto an interactive online map. We’ll also put a link to this here as soon as we have it. PCC has to notify this District Plan variation by August 2022. Any of us can submit on the proposal, in writing and in person to the public hearings. We will publicise updates on this process.
You can also go to the Council website poriruacity.govt.nz/your-council/city-planning-and-reporting/district-plan/
A tip from the planners – it’s a good idea to focus on the rules for planning because that’s where the Council has its influence. PCC doesn’t build the houses, but it does set the rules!

A slip at the end of Haunui Road has cut off water to the end houses and damaged a power pole at the end of the street.
Wellington Water has cut off the water to houses from the corner with Haunui Way – around number 27 Haunui Road – to the end of the road so they can cap the pipes to the end houses and turn the water back on for the rest of the houses. However, the slip also took out the last power pole and they are waiting for Wellington Electricity to cut off the power so it is safe to enter the slip zone. Wellington Water has organised a water tanker for residents on the street, and the tanker is there now, outside number 20.
We’ll update this when we get more information on progress on the repairs. If anyone in Haunui Road needs any welfare assistance, they can ring the Porirua City Council Welfare team on 237 5089.

Porirua City Council is proposing to rezone land next to Pukerua Bay to allow for new housing development. The land is the area at 34 Muri Road and the Mount Welcome farm (off State Highway 59).
This land is included in the Council’s Northern Growth Area, but much of it cannot be built on at the moment because it is not zoned as residential land in the District Plan. The Council is going to rezone the land to allow housing on it and has to make a variation to the District Plan to allow this. They have developed a structure plan (a type of map) that shows where different elements of the development could be placed, such as housing, commercial/town centre, roads and tracks, amenity and recreation areas, etc.
We have the opportunity to give feedback on this structure plan and make suggestions for what we would like to see in the development.
The event is a hands-on, interactive workshop designed to get people involved in influencing possible developments in this area.
The structure plan will become part of the variation to the District Plan, along with a set of rules controlling development in the area.
This variation has to be publicly notified by August 2022. The public will then be able to make submissions on it.
The latest edition of the Kōrero newsletter has more background on urban development in Pukerua Bay.
