Council contractors, Arb Innovations, are working their way around the city zone by zone maintaining our urban tree canopy to a high standard.

Urban tree canopy cover is green infrastructure cooling our city, providing better places to play and move, habitat for wildlife, and improving our health.

As part of the maintenance, trees will be pruned for sightlines for vehicles, footpath, streetlight, and carriageway clearance. Juvenile trees will be nurtured or planted. Stumps will be ground up.

Contractors are just finishing up in the CBD and will be in Paremata, Plimmerton, Camborne, and Mana over the next couple of months.

Thank you for your patience while we organise this maintenance.

A slip in 2022 has resulted in the long-term closure of the walkway between Halladale Road and Kinloch Grove.

The retaining works required will be programmed as priorities and budget allow.

We recognise this closure will be frustrating for many residents.

We appreciate there has been a lot of community concern regarding the proposed logging operations in Plimmerton. At this point, the logging company does not have a set route to undertake their logging operation. We understand the logging company are considering their route options and have delayed their operations until November.

Our involvement to date has been to understand what they are proposing and to ensure the safety of residents and road users. We will continue to work with both the logging company and the community.

We will update this section with any new developments.

Weight concerns

Our roading engineers have not raised concerns regarding the weight of the logging trucks operating on our roads.

Motuhara Road

In June 2024, our geotechnical engineers confirmed the risk to the slip from heavy vehicles was low and it was not necessary to ban them from the road. They were specifically asked to consider heavy vehicles and logging trucks within the legal loading and size requirements (non-HPMV).

The engineers suggested installing temporary bollards to prevent any heavy vehicles from coming close to that side of the road, which were installed.

On 25 August, Takutai Road will be closed from 9am–4pm as Wellington Electricity replace two power poles.
