(I am writing to you on behalf of a number of residents of Seaview Road and the surrounding area in Paremata, Porirua.

A few months ago, a number of us received a presentation from Porirua City Council (PCC) on the work they are doing on improving the health of both Pāuatahanui Inlet and Porirua Harbour. This work is in partnership with Ngati Toa and Sustainable Coastlines.

PCC is contributing $4.8m, Central Government $3.0m, both over 5 years, Sustainable Coastlines is also assisting the project financially.

This work has been recognized at the recent Local Government New Zealand awards where it received the following;

With Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) responsibilities for the environment, including water quality the question was raised what work GWRC has and is undertaking in this area.)
