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.
