The survey into people’s views on pedestrian safety on Teihana Road and Rawhiti Road has closed and the results are here.
We will compile them and send them to Porirua City Council. Many of you included very helpful comments in your response, which will also need to be analysed. Thank you for your input. We’ll let you know what the outcome is.

Guest Speaker: Paul McArdle from Bike On NZ Charitable Trust (Bikes In Schools)
All are welcome to attend the Annual General Meeting, light refreshments to follow.
Our thanks again to Sustainable Coastlines and a group of staff from ANZ who got together today to give a bit of love to our beautiful stretch of coastline between Pukerua Bay and Hongoeka Bay. Together they managed to remove about 1000 litres (50 rubbish bags!) of litter from the coastline, including a 30 metre long piece of PVC pipe.
Note: this survey is now closed. We will provide your feedback to Porirua City Council.
In 2016 the Residents’ Association was approached about concerns around children’s and pedestrians’ safety outside the school. Recently Porirua City Council presented us their plans to make Rawhiti Road and Teihana Road safer, as outlined here. They propose that the following safety measures be put in place:
If you are a local resident, please fill out this short survey; your feedback is most appreciated.

We’re very pleased to see that NZTA has put up a “No engine braking” sign for south-bound traffic. It’s been a long battle even just to get signs installed, and David Olsen deserves credit for persisting with it. We’d like to find ways of stopping engine braking disturbing residents entirely, but this is a good start.

Last Friday we had a couple of hours of working at the gardens – weeding, cutting grass and a bit of planning. I think 8 of us were there – sorry we didn’t get you all on the photos. This week activity is planned for Monday from around 4pm – everyone is welcome to come along and join in / have a chat about what we are doing. Things to do this week include planting Comfrey and other support plants around the trees to help them with fixing minerals, nitrogen etc. It would be great if we could do something together every week – so message your email if you would like to be put on the emailing list – and let us know if you would like to ‘take ownership’ for one week or more – to make sure things keep moving ahead.
