News from Wellington City Council
Pest and weed removal from Taputeranga Island, story-telling and natural environment improvements in Te Kopahou Reserve on the south coast, and a transformation of the former Kilbirnie Bowling Club site were given the go-ahead at this week’s Wellington City Council meeting.
The Taputeranga Island work and the improvements to the coastal area west of Owhiro Bay will be funded by $700,000 paid to the Council in 2013 by the Crown as part of its Tiriti o Waitangi settlement with Ngāti Toa Rangatira.
Landscaping of the former bowling club site on Kilbirnie Park will be funded by $1.5 million from the Plimmer Bequest.
