HBRC and MBIE visit Whangawehi
On Friday the 6th of November 2020, the Whangawehi project had some visitors. Rex Graham Chair of the Hawkes Bay Regional Council, Cr Hinewai Ormsby, Councillor for HBRC and Cameron Osmond Region Manager for the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment came to visit the restoration project. The trip started at the entrance of the Whangawehi walkway and finished on Taharoa Trust. The day went well and was a good opportunity for the WCMG team to advocate for the work done and develop relationships.
A big thank you to Hinewai, Rex and Cameron for making the time for this visit.
Waharoa stage 2 update
On Monday the 3d of November 2020, Will Keruru and the carpentry unit from EIT Wairoa came to Whangawehi to complete stage 2 of the build.
Look at the photos, the end product is amazing. The team carefully installed a brand new roof, recoated the timber with a second coat of paint and prepared the framing work that will take place tomorrow. The progress made in only a few days of work is outstanding.
A big thank you to Will and his enthusiastic team for their hard work. We can’t wait to see the final product.
Well done EIT Wairoa!
