Papawai Stream is one of Wellington’s few remaining natural urban streams, located in Mount Cook and runs through Prince of Wales Park. It carries stormwater through the area and is home to aquatic life, such as kōkopu and kōura. Heavier and more frequent rainfall has contributed to erosion along the stream bed, washing sediment into the stormwater network and increasing the risk of blockages and flooding.

We’ve strengthened the stream banks and installed an engineered wetland system for our client Tiaki Wai to help reduce erosion, manage sediment and improve the resilience of the stormwater network, while supporting the stream’s natural environment.

Now, along with the passionate community group, there is a planting day organised by the team Tiaki Wai Saturday 17 October, from 10am to 2pm to celebrate the project end. Event details 👉 https://www.facebook.com/share/1BvBwn9Ybg/

There are around 800 plants ready to go in the ground. The planting will help support a healthier stream environment, providing habitat for native wildlife and helping protect this special part of Wellington. Sturdy boots are recommended but spades will be provided!

Mana – we stand behind our work and alongside our people, we show respect in how we lead, deliver and represent our name.

In 2025 we ran several intakes of our Mills Albert Pathways (MAP) programme with the Ministry of Social Development (MSD), providing opportunity to our youth and others vulnerable in the job market at the time. It’s a real credit to our relationship with the work brokers and efforts to help support our MAP participants into these opportunities. Further acknowledgements to our team coming together and growing our MAP kaimahi into their civil careers.

Our Mills Albert whānau came together on Thursday to show that pride in our mahi and how we support each other when the current Prime Minister, and Minister for Social Development and Employment chose to do their press briefing here in our workshop as part of their wider press circuit.

This project is a part of the Te Pūwaha port revitalisation project Te Pūwaha - Whanganui Port | Te Pūwaha.
