Whitireia Park Restoration

Kahotea Stream Restoration

Kahotea Stream Restoration is led by a diverse group of Titahi Bay locals who have come together to protect and replenish the health of our unique waterway - Kahotea.
 
Kahotea stream is piped beginning at Titahi Bay Intermediate School, and begins its headwaters near Murphy Place. There are two branches, one which flows between Morere Street and Jillett Street, and one between Jillet and Herewini Streets. When these two branches connect they continue to flow between Morere and Kapiti Crescent. At the Morere Street dairy, the stream enters a stormwater pipe that passes under Dimock Street and emerges again at Onepoto Park. Much of our planting to date has been at Onepoto Park, but we plan to extend this in the future.  
 
The mahi began in 2012, with the first plantings completed that year. The shape of the group has changed over time, with people coming and going, but the scope of the work has expanded from planting and weed control to water quality testing, rubbish removal, advocacy and pest control. With support and participation from Ngāti Toa Rangātira, local schools, Scouts, Predator Free Titahi Bay, Mountains to Sea, St Matthews Anglican Church, Ngahere Korowai, Porirua City Council, and Wellington Regional Council and others, this project shows what can be achieved when a community comes together to imagine a healthier, more beautiful environment - and gets out there to make it happen.

Nga Hua Ō Titahi - The Fruits of Titahi

We have established two small orchards in Tītahi Bay and are keen to encourage local food production.  You can find them at 110 Pikarere Street and between 110-112 Tireti Road.  For a great short walk take the pathway between the two through Stuart Park and stop at the Tuna Terrace playground on the way.  Take a picnic and spend time at Pikarere Orchard, it's a fantastic sheltered suntrap on a sunny day. 

The group meets several times a year to weed, mulch, prune and keep the orchards in good shape.  For more information or to join in go to Ngā Hua Ō Titahi - The Fruits of Titahi | Facebook
