Town Brewery has established the Whitby Music Fest in an effort to bring a live music scene to the town. The event will run from June 26 to 29 and even a barber shop around Whitby's downtown area being repurposed into music venues over the course of the weekend Town Brewery describes the event as "loosely based on Toronto's legendary NXNE festival," looking to foster "more of a 'local community' vibe." The festival is free for attendees, except for the main stage event for which tickets can be found on Town Brewery's website.

Waitangirua and Te Ara Kāpehu link roads water and electricity upgrades Wellington Water and Kāinga Ora have teamed up to carry out critical infrastructure service upgrades along link roads These upgrades will increase resilience and supply for local residents and will benefit Porirua as a whole but will cause traffic disruption during the work If you have any questions, please contact us on [email protected] Stage one of the link road project is complete and the road has reopened with a new higher speed limit of 60km/h as part of Porirua City’s speed management plan Crews will return in about two months’ time to liven the water connection This livening up work will happen at the Warspite Avenue end of the Waitangirua Link Road entrance It will involve a temporary speed limit drop to 30km/h with both lanes open and traffic management in place for up to two weeks Work has also begun on stage two: Te Ara Kāpehu Link Road (one-way lane closure) Stage two also involves laying new water pipes and power cabling along Te Ara Kāpehu Link Road The water pipes being laid will eventually connect to the new larger water reservoir that will be built by Te Rā Nui at the end of Stemhead Lane The reservoir work is planned to start later this year Please note: Timing is subject to weather conditions and could change The Waitangirua and Te Ara Kāpehu (Whitby) Link Roads Project started on 4 November 2024 and will take about seven months to complete both stages Stage 1 – Waitangirua Link Road – full closure from 4 November 2024 The first stage of the construction work is complete with the full closure of Waitangirua Link Road (from Warspite Avenue to the T-junction with Te Ara Kāpehu for around five months along with cabling for electricity network upgrades Council also took the opportunity to remove wilding pine trees clear vegetation and install signage for the increased speed limit on the Waitangirua Link Road which was raised to 60km/h as part of the Speed Management Plan for Porirua Work to lay drinking water pipes and electricity ducts along Waitangirua Link Road is complete While some unexpected ground conditions and wet weather slowed things down in patches the JFC contract team made good progress and the road has reopened If you have any questions please contact us on [email protected] Stage 2 – Te Ara Kāpehu (formerly the Whitby) Link Road – partial closure The second stage of work is taking place along Te Ara Kāpehu Link Road (between the Silverbrooke development and the T-junction with Waitangirua Link Road) also to lay water pipes and power cabling The new power cables will allow future capacity increases anticipating housing growth as this area continues to expand An additional 2.4 km of drinking water pipes will connect to the new larger reservoir being built at the end of Stemhead Lane The reservoir will cater for future demand on Porirua’s drinking water network and improve network resilience by adding a second connection to upper Whitby and providing capacity in case of an emergency These upgrades also reduce and ultimately remove current reliance on pump stations The new reservoir is planned for construction in the first half of 2025 and will be delivered by Te Rā Nui It will increase the amount of water available from 4.5 million litres to 13.5 million litres For the work to be completed as quickly and efficiently as possible the decision was made to fully close the road from 4 November 2024 so work crews had unimpeded access to the site If we were to keep the road partially open the work would take considerably longer and cost considerably more At the time of building the Transmission Gully link roads water and electricity infrastructure wasn’t installed because no one knew either the scale and/or timing of residential development and the new reservoir had not been planned The eastern parts of Porirua have been growing quickly and the new reservoir is being built in 2025 We are working together with all parties using a ‘dig once’ approach to try and minimise disruption as much as possible road and lane closures will be disruptive for regular users of the link roads and individuals and businesses living and operating in the area The level of disruption depends on where people are going where they’re leaving from and what else is happening at the time Our traffic modelling shows there may be some hotspots but they are likely to be minimal and only at peak times we are working together using a ‘dig once’ approach to get water and electricity upgrades done at the same time Teaming up to do this infrastructure work means we only need to close the road once which would have been more inconvenient to road users We encourage motorists to plan their journeys using alternative routes and allow extra time this is likely to be done in two stages and will mostly be chipseal Stage one will be resurfacing the one lane where the road has been dug up to accommodate the new pipes and cables Current areas of the road that are failing will be repaired Stage two will happen a year later once this new surface has bedded in Then the Council will come back and resurface both lanes of the road Stage two will result in minimal disruption – likely just a few days of traffic management measures in place Warspite Avenue/Niagara Street intersectionFrom Monday 13 January 2025 we will be laying electricity ducting and water pipes in the Warspite Avenue/Niagara Street intersection This is a part of the Waitangirua Link Road works and will take about two months to complete From Monday 13 January 2025 we will be installing two manholes on the grass verge adjacent to the existing pump station on Navigation Drive This is a part of Te Ara Kāpehu Link Road (formerly known as the Whitby Link Road) works and will take about one month to complete Yes, you can download it here Email [email protected] Email [email protected] and ask to be added to our mailing list We are currently conducting pressure tests on the new pipes in Waitangirua Link Road we are on track to reopen the link road next week Once the road reopens crews will return in about two months’ time to liven the water connection Following the reopening of Waitangirua Link Road Stage two: Te Ara Kāpehu Link Road (one-way lane closure starts next week) We plan to start work on laying new water pipes and power cabling for Te Ara Kāpehu Link Road next week See the map below for an overview of the work We are now aiming to reopen Waitangirua Link Road after Easter which will mark completion of the first stage of this project to improve the water and electricity networks for the eastern suburbs The delay to reopening is due to some issues with ageing water shut-off valves along Warspite Avenue We have successfully resolved those issues with the valves allowing us to connect the new water pipes from the Waitangirua Link Road into the existing watermain which involves closing one lane of Te Ara Kāpehu Link Road (formerly known as the Whitby Link Road) for two months Stage two: Te Ara Kāpehu Link Road (one-way lane closure starts week of Tuesday 22 April)Beginning the week of Tuesday 22 April work starts on laying new water pipes and power cabling for Te Ara Kāpehu Link Road: The work at Navigation Drive to install two manholes in the grass verge The traffic management used on site has resulted in very little disruption to traffic flows and access for residents and pedestrians has been maintained at all times (which is part of this second stage of work) should be completed by Friday 11 April We have had a few issues with the connection of the new pipes into the existing ones resulting in some water shutdowns not happening as planned There will be further notifications of water shutdowns when we connect these pipes Thank you for your patience as we work through this If you have any questions, please contact us on [email protected] The first stage of this project to improve the water and electricity networks for the eastern suburbs is nearing completion We are expecting to reopen Waitangirua Link Road the week of Monday 7 April subject to weather and finishing the final aspects Stage two: Te Ara Kāpehu Link Road (one-way lane closure begins the week of 7 April) Communication about the lane closure is planned to be rolled out in the lead-up to this stage two work beginning If you have any questions, please contact us on [email protected] our contractors have been working across an intersection relating to the Waitangirua Link Road services upgrade work – the Warspite Avenue/Niagara Street intersection Work will start in late January on another site – the Navigation Drive/Schooner Drive intersection Work started on 14 January to lay the electricity ducting across the intersection and into Niagara Street We will also be laying the large watermain across the intersection to the connection point for the existing Warspite Ave watermain This work involves carrying out pressure testing and receiving sign-off from Wellington Water and then completing the connection itself Temporary reinstatements of the asphalt will be done as work progresses and our crews will come back at the end to permanently reinstate the road surface We expect work at this intersection to take about two months This work involves the installation of two manholes on the grass verge adjacent to the existing pump station and also starts in late January We have run public notices about this work in the 17 December edition of Kapi-Mana News and in selected January issues Letterbox drops have been completed for affected local residents and businesses and people on our email list have been updated periodically Work continues to progress well on the Waitangirua Link Road with trenching duct and water pipe laying progressing well along with the basecourse reinstatement work our contractors will be working across two intersections relating to the Waitangirua Link Road services upgrade work – the Warspite Avenue/Waitangirua Link Road intersection and the Navigation Drive/Schooner Drive intersection work will start to lay the electricity ducting across the intersection and into Niagara St This work involves the installation of two manholes on the grass verge adjacent to the existing pump station and also starts on 13 January We will be running public notices about this work in the 17 December and 14 January editions of Kapi-Mana News Letterbox drops will be distributed this week to affected local residents and businesses Progress on site and work over the holiday period Work continues to progress well on the Waitangirua Link Road with over 700 metres of trenching Our team will be working through the Christmas shut down period If you have any questions, please contact us on [email protected] Waitangirua Link Road closed from Monday for up to 5 months Just a reminder that the Waitangirua Link Road will be closed from this coming Monday This will enable improved drinking water supply and electricity network services for the eastern Porirua suburbs and Whitby Wellington Electricity and Kāinga Ora are working together to upgrade these essential services with John Fillmore Contracting (JFC) undertaking the work We have been trying to make sure as many people as possible know about this work through Kapi Mana News our Council website and through our Antenno app There are also roadside VMS (variable message sign) boards up in key locations to let people know about the work and Google maps will no longer show the route for the duration of the work Please feel free to forward this email on to anyone else who needs to know There will be a full closure of Waitangirua Link Road – from Warspite Ave to the T-junction with Te Ara Kāpehu (formerly the Whitby Link Road) The work is expected to take up to five months to complete The road will be fully closed so work crews have full access to the site Keeping the road partially open during the work would take longer and cost more Once the cabling and pipework is completed People who normally use the road will need to plan their trip in advance and allow extra time to reach their destination Once the Waitangirua Link Road work is complete and is back open there will be a partial (one-lane) closure of part of Te Ara Kāpehu Link Road larger reservoir to be built at the end

spokesperson said some houses were evacuated as a precaution The police shift commander at the scene said residents were allowed to return to their homes just ahead of 4pm They said some fire crews remained onsite to monitor the area and dampen down hotspots Investigators will work to determine the cause of the blaze but he was unable to say whether there were any suspicious elements at this stage Incident controller Steve Hudson said crews had been working on tricky terrain moving uphill into the reserve ahead of the fire to put it out from above The fire was now under control and contained and FENZ was starting to wind down resources He said the blaze started at the rear of some properties and until known otherwise every fire was treated as suspicious "We've just entered a restricted fire season so people need to be aware that you should have a permit if you need any fires outside." Fourteen crews worked to fight the fire in the Spinnaker Reserve in Whitby from about 2pm and it was contained by about 3.30pm People are asked to stay away from the area The entrance to Mercury Way is blocked by police so those nearby should keep their windows closed Whitby resident Ethan Oliver said he arrived home about 2pm when he noticed people in the street watching a "big puff of smoke up over the hills" He said the fire brigade had been called but was not yet on the scene and when he went out the back he saw a big plume of smoke and fire curling up the bases of some trees in the reserve "It wasn't like a big fire bank or anything hopefully the boys get here and sort it out He said luckily the wind was pushing the fire back up the hill "It's been real hot the past couple of days so it would have been a tinderbox back there." The restricted fire season was declared for Porirua and Kāpiti Coast on Tuesday Anyone who wants to light an outdoor fire now needs to apply for a permit from Fire and Emergency District Manager Brett Lockyer said those areas had become extremely dry since the beginning of the year "This is a very risky time of year for wildfires so we're asking everyone to help us keep Wellington District's people property and environment safe from fires this summer."

Log in SEARCHJOIN CLUB goths have flocked to a tiny town on the North Yorkshire coast to spend a weekend wandering the historic streets in their most outlandish gothic garbs The Whitby Goth Weekend is a chance for goths from far and wide to congregate in this atmospheric harbour town dominated by the dramatic silhouette of a ruined gothic abbey and famed for its connection to Dracula (Brom Stoker famously stayed here and it became an inspiration and location for his genre-defying novel) Whitby-born photographer George Hutton has grown up seeing the festival evolve “It began 30 years ago when a small group of goths decided to meet up in Whitby the Elsinore Pub was the only pub that openly accepted and hosted them,” he recalls the whole town welcomes goths from every walk of life this is the heart of the festival: creating a place where a group of friends could meet and come together and celebrate their individuality.”   Hutton has always felt fascinated by this influx of counterculture into an otherwise quaint Whitby is a traditional seaside town; it is very picturesque and nothing out of the ordinary really happens and some even travel internationally to come to this quiet and small town.”  drawn to document the festival goers at the Goth Weekend’s 30th anniversary my relationship with the festival has changed I’ve become more fascinated by the individuals and have become more curious by them and their relationship with Whitby I now go along twice a year as it’s such an interesting unique event.” From mermaids in handcarts to plague doctors and skeletal figures all set against the slate-grey of brooding northern skies ice cream parlours and fish and chip shops Hutton captures the chaos and surrealness of this special weekend Abiding memories from this year’s event include watching droves of visitors ascend the 199 steps to St Mary’s church for sunset “It was really beautiful to see such an array of people all standing around an old graveyard at the top of a cliff taking in the golden evening light,” he tells Dazed with the October-November Goth Weekend more often than not being covered in a  blanket of thick cloud and fog which does sort of add a fitting atmosphere.” Of all the images he took over this year’s festival there were a few pictures in particular which most embody the spirit of Whitby Goth Weekend and then the person dressed as an inflatable plant-like character wheeling a very small suitcase through the streets of Whitby both these images show the uniqueness of the weekend and how there are no rules to how you should be dressed.” the goth community is stereotypically presented as introverted what becomes apparent at the festival is a real sense of community,” Hutton concludes “It has become a place for people to freely express themselves within a safe environment which Incumbent Ryan Turnbull has held the Whitby riding for the Liberals Turnbull greeted enthusiastic supporters at The Bull Pub and Grill

Hamid plans to save his winnings, at least for now. More people cast a ballot in this federal election than four years ago, but it doesn’t appear any records will be broken. As of 7 a.m. Tuesday, Elections Canada was reporting a voter turnout of 67.15 per cent. They still have some special ballots to count which they will do after 9:30 a.m. Special ballots are those mailed in or those who voted at an Elections Canada office prior to Election Day. Many experts were predicting record turnout after an all-time high 7.3-million Canadians voted in advance polls on Easter weekend. The highest voter turnout for a federal election was in 1958 when 79.4 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot. The last election in 2021 saw only 62.6 per cent vote. Locally there are still some polls to report, but in Durham, the Oshawa riding is showing the lowest turnout at 63.38 per cent. Whitby appears to have the highest turnout at 72.05 per cent.
