Many thanks for this. It doesn’t really explain why we need 12 speed bumps though and I understand the reason for
withholding the cost.

Subject: Re: [#SR-908290] RE: Questions about Hawkins Hill Rd and speed humps
Kia ora Councilor Ray,
William, Meville, Operations Manager for our PSR Team, has provided the response below:
The origins of the project on Hawkins Hill Right of Way are in the attached email sent to you on 8th February by PSR
Operations Manager William Melville. Since notifying Long Gully landowners of the upcoming works out of 40 easement
users 4 have contacted Council requesting further information in regards this last stage of the project.
Funding for the project was approved as part of the 2021-31 Long Term Plan and the installation of the speed bumps is being
completed out of already existing budgets as part of the approved work programme to contribute towards our health and
safety obligations as the grantor of the easement.
The contract amount for the upcoming works has been withheld under section 7(2)(b)(ii) of the Local Government Official
Information and Meeting Act. Withholding this information under the Act was made after consultation with one of our
contractors who did not want the project amount released. Its important that our relationship with our suppliers is amicable
and making this information available would likely prejudice their commercial position. In making this decision we have
considered the public interest considerations in section 7(1) of the Act.
I (William) have passed this position ontos7(2)(a)
and (she) can be contacted if you have any further questions
about the Minor Safety and Improvements project on Hawkins Hill Right of Way.
Ngā mihi,

Hi Ray.
Do you think you could find out how much the 12 speed humps being planned to be installed on Hawkins Hill
Rd (Brooklyn wind turbine) in early March will cost?
I know you're voting today on unnecessary spending to help stump up the funds for the pipe infrastructure.
Nick Mills is speaking about this on ZB this morning too.

Subject: Questions about Hawkins Hill Rd and speed humps
Hi Will.
Happy New Year.
The last email from you was 13 April 2023. In it you'd mentioned that Mills Albert was completing final
stages of the works between Ashton Fitchett and Southernthread Road (you called it Southern Thread Right of
Way which it is not its correct name). Given those works were completed we are surprised by your email of
yesterday with yet another contractor, this time PCL Contracting.
We had emails on October 2023 from Denise Clements regarding other "pothole maintenance" repairs which
were also completed, by another contractor Dixon & Dunlop. We'd assumed the works were completed.
I have a few questions regarding the progression of the speed humps you have advised of.
1. Have Council undertaken any speed or traffic monitoring since the 30km advisory signs were
installed?
This would affirm to Council whether the signs have had any impact on the speed calming, given they restrict
the width greatly and therefore cause traffic to converge into central point of the road, which restricts passage
to single "crunchpoint". This alone has caused speed reductions surely, but Council cannot know without
monitoring the impact or effect - surely this will assist with confirming that the signage is doing what it
intends and the money spent provided the intended ROI. Scrutiny is of course on WCC at the moment for any
spend that takes money from the desperately leaking pipeline fund.
Since the blue "shared zone" signage was installed we now have horses and people walking their dogs off the
lead and pushchairs and families with unrestrained toddlers on the entire road - some don't even move to the
side to allow motorised vehicle passage past, even beyond the gate at the top which has significantly changed
the road experience for existing users and meant many pedestrians now do not expect cars on the road, often
favouring using the sealed road over the many tracks either side of the HH Road route. This seems to be in
conflict with 5.8 Horses of Open Space Access Plan and HH Road is certainly not listed in Schedule D. It's
incredibly dangerous to have horses on the narrow road with all the tourists who use the road to access the
Turbine attraction. Page 59 of the Open Space Access Plan 2016 has a Short Term Planning action point of
"Studies of horse access to tracks (based on demand) with limited and controlled 4WD access).
Map these for
public information and included on site signage.
2. Please supply the "study" and supporting information for the decision to include HH Road access for
horses.
3. Can you provide the hazard identification and risk management matrix for Action 1.9.2 on page 57,
specifically for the shared use of Hawkins Hill Road based on the signage erected and provide the
consultation process and key findings of it for each of the different user / activity groups.
Page 190 of the OGBM Plan 2019 states at 5.7.2.1. Land Administration - Licenses and right of way, a new
initiative with a 3-5 year action timeframe that 3.
Work with land owners and businesses that have legal right
of way on Hawkins Hill road to manage and maintain the road in ways that will protect and benefit public
access to and use of the Council's reserves.
4. Please share what actions have been taken and the result of any action taken.
5. Can you provide a summary of why the mediation process was abandoned?
Page 194 of the OGBM Plan 2019 at action point 4 says you'll
Investigate options to improve safety for
recreational users on Hawkins Hill Road, including areas of separation between vehicles and
pedestrians/cyclists, and implement agreed measures in a) planning 1-3 years and b) implement physical
upgrades 3-5 years.
6. Please share the plan, any decisions made, consultation undertaken, and actions approved to be
completed and/or any timeframes for their implementation. Please include why Council has progressed
"sharing" (inclusive) initiatives over more protective "separation" (exclusive) ones.
Page 60 of Open Space Access Plan states:
Implement a detailed consultation exercise with key stakeholder
groups to work through user-conflict issues in order to develop principles and protocols to manage different
user groups' expectations in the Open Space network. The consultation should be undertaken with the
Councillor responsible for open space access issues and report to relevant committee.
7. Who is the Councillor responsible? And what is the relevant Committee called? Please share the
principles and protocols Council has developed to manage the different user groups expectations thus
far.
Lastly. The money question.
When the City Strategy Committee Meeting adopted the Tonkin and Taylor recommendations in late 2018 the
pricing was X amount.
8. Can you please share what the new total cost to complete the installation of the speed humps as
referred to below. Share the difference in price between the 2018 quote and the current one, and who
has authorised this current spend (committee/Councillor etc). Given the sheer amount of projects being
shelved and funding cuts across the city IN THE LAST FEW DAYS, I'm trying to understand if
Wellingtonians (or perhaps someone like Simeon) would support this spend right now - or if they even know?
Can you let me know ASAP please.
Cheers,

Kia ora Hawkins Hill Right of Way users,
To complete the Pavement and Minor Safety Improvement project started in 2022 on Hawkins Hill Right
of Way, Council’s contractor PCL Contracting will be installing 12 speed humps between Ashton Fitchett
Drive and Southernthread Right of Way starting on 10th March 2024.
They will be installing Watts Design speed humps on the Right of Way that are consistent with those used
elsewhere in the road corridor and attached is the design profile taken from Wellington City Council Code
of Practice for Land Development.
Due to the narrowness of the Right of Way it is not possible to install the speed humps under stop/go and
the Right of Way will have to be closed to carry out the works. To minimise disruption as much as is
reasonably practicable work will be carried out at night between
10pm and
6am starting on
March 10th
2024 and completed
over 5 days weather permitting.
Signs will be put out on the Right of Way 2 weeks prior, and a letter drop carried out to residents notifying
them of the upcoming work and the Right of Way closures.
Thank you in advance for your patience while we complete this final stage of the project.
