This programme update provides information on the NZ Transport Agency's SH2 Melling Transport Improvements project, Greater Wellington's flood protection work, and Hutt City Council's urban revitalisation, delivered in partnership with mana whenua Taranaki Whānui ki Te Upoko o Te Ika and Ngāti Toa Rangatira, all part of Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi.

Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi means 'the soothing waters of Hutt River'. Gifted by Kura Moeahu, Te Āti Awa Rangatira, it reflects the shared responsibility to care for Te Awa Kairangi for present and future generations. The programme was formerly known as RiverLink.
