Late last year Claire Johnstone and Phil Rhodes were elected as Greater Wellington regional councillors for the Tawa/Pāuatahanui Ward. They have graciously accepted an invitation from the Harbour Trust and the Guardians of the Inlet to address a meeting open to everyone on MONDAY 4 MAY 2026 AT 7.15PM ST MARY’S CHURCH WHITBY.

If you are interested in the health and restoration of the twin arms of our harbour and its contributing streams then come along, listen and pose any questions you may have of our representatives.

With changes to regional councils coming up our councillors may not have much time to make a difference. Do your part in making sure they know what the residents of Porirua and northern Wellington are expecting when it comes to caring for our precious natural environment.

Join Harbour Accord partners in a mid-week clean up of the cbd foreshore on Wednesday 29 April from Noon until 3pm. Kai provided. Wear suitable clothing for the task and sturdy footware/boots/gumboots.

We know from experience that no matter how many clean ups are done there’s always litter to be removed. This is a great opportunity to do your bit with just a few hours of time commitment.

A good opportunity for Porirua people interested in how other Wellington groups go about catchment rehabilitation to go on a guided walk with the Trelissick Park Group. Wear sturdy footwear for wet tracks. Sunday 26 April at 2pm – 3.30pm

Meet in the Ngaio Gorge at Trelissick Park Entrance 5 (see map) Parking: Parking laybys at Entrances 5 and 6. If parking at Entrance 6, walk up Ngaio Gorge Rd to Entrance 5.

In case of rain check https://www.facebook.com/TrelissickParkGroup after 10am

Postponement day: Monday 27 April (ANZAC Day Holiday).
