Otari-Wilton’s Bush Wastewater Upgrade
On behalf of Wellington City Council we are upgrading the wastewater network around the Otari-Wilton Bush carpark to prevent overflows into the Kaiwharawhara Stream.
A critical wastewater pipe which runs under Churchill Drive in Wadestown is under capacity.

In moderate and heavy rainfall, this pipe overflows into the stormwater network, discharging into Kaiwharawhara Stream and the nearby Otari-Wilton’s Bush.
On behalf of Wellington City Council we are currently developing options to address this capacity issue, in order to increase the resilience of the wastewater network, protect public health and uphold the environmental and cultural values of the Kaiwharawhara.
We expect to undertake construction works over summer to minimise the risk of overflows while construction is underway.
