Transmission Gully visitor centre in Mana.

Visitor Centre on the move to Wellington City

Have you stopped in at the Transmission Gully Project mobile visitor centre located at Dolly Varden Beach in Mana yet? 

If not, you better be quick, as the mobile centre will be picked up at the end of the month and transported to Civic Square, beside Wellington Library. It will be there for the next few months, to give central city workers and residents a chance to view information about the Transmission Gully motorway project, together with details of the Waitangirua and Whitby Link Roads, which are being built for the Porirua City Council at the same time as the new motorway.

The mobile Transmission Gully visitor centre is open to the public Monday to Saturday from 10am until 4pm.
