  • Ngauranga to Petone (Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One) section of Te Ara Tupua opens

    The Ngauranga to Petone (Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One) section of Te Ara Tupua opens to the public on Saturday 16 May! Wellington and the Hutt Valley will soon be linked by a safe and stunning new coastal shared path that also improves resilience by better protecting the rail line from storm and sea surges. Created in partnership with iwi and our communities, Te Ara Tupua is a pathway incorporating history, environment benefits, and future-focused design. We’re confident this path will contribute to regional walks and rides, support local and national tourism and recreational opportunities, while being enjoyed by many for many years to come. Grab
