Petone to Melling engagement generates enthusiasm and ideas

Story
Story

Between 26 April and 31 May 2017, the public told us their ideas about the Petone to Melling section of the Wellington to Hutt Valley Walking and Cycling Link (W2HV Link). About 200 people participated in the five open days, talked with the project team and shared their thoughts and ideas on how the project might be improved.

The purpose of this public engagement was to inform key stakeholders and the community about plans for the W2HV Link and to get feedback on the section of path running from Petone to Melling along the rail corridor. Construction of this section is scheduled to begin in late 2017.

We received 120 submissions during the engagement. Seventy-one percent of submitters indicated that the Wellington region would significantly benefit from the walking and cycling path.

The project team is reviewing the feedback and will consider how the many ideas and suggestions can be used to improve the project.

Option selected to link W2HV Link to Hutt River Trail

As part of the public engagement, we presented two options for connecting the Parliament Street rail underpass to the Hutt River Trail. Seventy percent of people who indicated a preference, prefer the connection under the Normandale overbridge.  

The NZ Transport Agency and the Hutt City Council are progressing the Normandale overbridge connection as the preferred option.
