The Waka Kotahi Resilience Programme leads a strategic approach to support a resilient and adaptive land transport system. Strong partnerships, a mature understanding of risk, smart use of technology, and capability to make the right long-term investment choices are all vital to meet resilience challenges.

When a major hazard event affects the Wellington region many key sections of the land transport network will become impassable. Our response to natural hazards and climate changes require both infrastructure and non-infrastructure approaches.

The Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-one (Ngauranga to Petone) section of Te Ara Tupua will provide a walking and cycling path on the seaward side of the Hutt Valley rail line between Ngauranga interchange and Honiana Te Puni Reserve in Petone.

Design has considered and included the resilience benefits to the wider corridor which includes State Highway 2, a critical commuter and freight rail line, and major utilities infrastructure including Wellington City’s bulk water supply. nzta.govt.nz/projects/te-ara-tupua
