Kia ora Bill,
Thanks for your question.
The Taupō Wetlands upgrades project refers to the flood recovery preliminary design work undertaken for the James St, Plimmerton Roundabout (SH59) area of Plimmerton. This was a sub-project associated with the wider Plimmerton Flood Response Project. The preliminary design works indicated three packages of work for northern, eastern and western parts of James St (and its catchments). Each package of work had a range of proposed solutions depending on each site. More information about the detail can be found on Councils website here - DRAFT Recommendations - Karehana and Taupo/James St Stormwater Catchment
Share If Porirua city has a population of say close to 60,000 and our sewage treatment station was built to serve a population of up to 80,000 before the clarifier and treatment pond requires duplication say decided back in 1989 when it opened. I understand that it is now currently serving a population of close to 1200,000, so the extra 60,000 belong to Wellington City council, linden, tawa, churton park, Glenside. Technically Wellington City council should be paying for the construction of this and not the residents of an already cash strapped Porirua city council.

Kia ora Greg,
Many thanks for your comment. A meter is installed so that we can measure the volume of effluent from Wellington City that is treated at Porirua’s treatment plant. Based on that meter, Porirua City Council recovers the cost of capital investment (and operating costs) through a fee that is invoiced to Wellington City Council. This is overseen by a Joint Commitee comprising representatives from both Districts. You can find the latest finance report in the record of the February meeting. The next meeting is scheduled for 2pm on 28 May 2024.
Share Other than the glass recycling bin I did not see any mention of the size of the general waste Wheelie bin proposed. We currently pay privately for a 240L Green waste bin and an 80L General Waste bin. If PCC are proposing a 240L General Waste bin that also takes green waste I would be in favour but if it is only a small general waste bin it makes a big difference to my thoughts on this. on Facebook

Kia ora Martin_S,
Thank you for your question. To estimate the cost of the proposed kerbside waste and recycling service described in the draft 2024–2034 Long-term Plan, we used the following bin sizes as a guide. If we move forward with the proposal, we will consult with the public to determine the exact size of the bins and other details such as, collection frequency.
- 140 litre rubbish bin for general waste
- 240 litre bin for recycling
- 140 litre bin for food and green waste
- 40 litre glass crate
Share I'm interested in how much money was put into the previous government's initiatives that are now halted or uncertain, and specifically how much of that investment came from the income collected via rates. Do you have that information broken down to that level of detail? on Facebook

Kia ora Leigh,
Thanks for your question. Apart from Council staff time working toward the previous government’s policy direction, no specific rates funding was spent. Our Council received significant funding from the previous government toward their three waters reform programme. The current government has now signalled a number of policy changes (Resource Management Act, Significant Natural Areas, three waters reform, housing etc) that again will involve staff time to ensure the Council aligns with the new direction. The main change that will affect rates increases going forward is in three waters reform as councils will now have to fund this activity on our own.

Long-term Plan 2024-34 Consultation Document (2.71 MB) (pdf)
Like all local councils, every three years we prepare a Long-term Plan (LTP), including a 30-year infrastructure plan, outlining what we plan to achieve over the next 30 years, and how we’ll pay for it. In the years between Long-term Plans, we develop an Annual Plan that sets out what we want to achieve, and the budget for the year ahead.
Thank you for your contribution!
