Plimmerton Farm has made significant progress in our short earth working season. All erosion and sediment control devices required for the haul road into the site and up to the reservoir site have been constructed and approved. The site is in stable condition with regular monitoring from the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) and our contractors to ensure we stay compliant over the winter months.
We are working through final sign-offs for winter works, which will allow us to continue the main fill located on the left-hand side when entering from the James Street entrance. Material will come from the cut just below Mo St. Weather permitting, we also intend to take the haul road through along the bottom paddock, which is the future stormwater retention area, to the southern end of the Taupo Swamp in preparation for October, where we will progress up the hill to the reservoir site.
As we are into the winter works, visible progress may be slow. This will be our last monthly update until the earth working season is back in full swing in October/November.
