    • Major roadworks coming up in Tory and Jessie Streets - 23 June-4 July.
      • Information from Wellington Water Wellington Water has major pipe work coming up in Tory and Jessie Streets - from 23 June-4 July. Traffic changes are involved. Parts of Jessie and Tory Streets will be closed Upcoming Works and Road Closures Jessie Street and Tory Street Kia ora, Wellington Water, on behalf of Wellington City Council, are realigning a wastewater pipe that was wrongly connected to the stormwater system when it was installed many years ago. This work will require digging a trench from Jessie Street into Tory Street, realigning the pipe so it correctly connects into the wastewater main, and installing new manholes, while avoiding other critical underground services such as electrical and telecommunications lines. This means that from Monday 23 June to Friday 4 July: The intersection of Jessie Street and Tory Street will be completely closed to traffic Signage will direct vehicles to detour around this intersection Jessie Street will be closed to vehicles except for residents, who will need to enter/exit at Taranaki Street Pedestrian access will be unaffected Work will take place 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday. Due to the nature of the work, there will be noise and vibration. We are working overnight to reduce the amount of time the road needs to be closed. Once work on Tory Street is completed, the intersection with Tory Street will be re-opened. Jessie Street will remain closed except to residents while the remaining work is completed for about another week. We will let you know more about that once we can confirm the exact dates for this. Completing this work will protect our harbour from contamination by untreated wastewater and increase the resilience of our water network. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. If you have any questions about this work, please contact: During business hours: Cynthia Dewi 021 229 1682 After hours: Wellington City Council contact centre, 04 499 4444 If you would like to receive further updates on this project, please send an email to engagement@wellingtonwater.co.nz with “Jessie Street” in the subject line.

    • Residents Monitoring Survey 2025 results released
      • Info from WCC The RMS is Wellington City Council’s annual check-in with residents to understand their views on a wide range of topics and, along with the nationwide Quality of Life biannual survey, helps to form a small part of the wider performance story in the Annual Report. While respondents generally agree Wellington is a great place to live, work and play, overall feelings towards the city have shifted significantly over the past decade, with dissatisfaction about the look, feel and vibe of the capital, reflecting a similar downturn in sentiment around the motu. Read more info here: The 2025 survey took place in two parts. The final sample size was: 1,088 for part one 1,174 for part two. It had a margin of error around 3% for the Wellington City population. The samples were post-weighted to be representative of Wellington City residents by age, gender, and ward.
