Te Hīkoi mō te Tiriti is making its way south and is expected to arrive in Porirua on Sunday. Hīkoi participants will be in Porirua on Monday, before heading into Wellington on Tuesday morning.
With lots of extra people and vehicles in the city it’s inevitable that there will be some delays and disruptions. Please plan accordingly and allow extra time if needed. There will be temporary traffic management in place in some areas.
Things are likely to get busy from late afternoon on Sunday, and Tuesday morning will also be a key time to be aware of crowds and congestion.
With a 6pm pōwhiri planned for Takapūwahia Marae on Sunday, there could be delays for Titahi Bay residents and others using Titahi Bay Road and the surrounding streets.
Other locations that may be particularly busy across the three days Ngāti Toa Domain, marae around the city, and train stations.
Ngāti Toa and hīkoi organisers are putting out more specific information on what is planned around the city, and when, as are Police, NZTA and other agencies. We will share this when appropriate, to help keep residents informed, but suggest you also keep an eye on those social media pages for the latest information, as things can change.
We are continuing to work closely with hīkoi organisers, Ngāti Toa Rangatira, police and other agencies, all with the common goal of a peaceful and positive experience for all in the city over the next few days.
