Stormwater Conference 2024 - Site Visit 1

Cost: $40 + GST

Hosts: GHD, Morphum Environmental, Ngāti Toa
• A newly constructed wetland (gifted the name Te Kukuwai o Toa by local iwi Ngāti Toa) transcends stormwater flood attenuation. By augmenting an existing greenspace, the urban community is connected to the natural environment through an environmentally sensitive solution.
• 35,000 native plants have been established to improve the health of the harbour and immediately attracted indigenous fauna into the new ecological heart of central Porirua.
• The wetland provides an outdoor, interactive classroom, for three kura that encompass the wetland perimeter. Contributing to a range of important topics, the public asset offers education on the area’s physical and cultural history, local species, and sustainable stormwater management.
• Kenupuru landing is just a few minutes away from Te Kukuwai o Toa and should be a pleasant stroll from one site to another.
• PPE not required for Elsdon Park
• PPE to be confirmed for Kenupuru Landing
