The national hīkoi from Te Tai Tokerau to Wellington will be travelling between Porirua and Wellington (Waitangi Park) next Tuesday 19 November 2024. It will commence at 06.15am and is expected to arrive at Waitangi Park in Wellington by midday.  

There is potentially a hīkoi from Hutt Valley as well. A  separate leg from Canterbury to Wellington on Monday 18 November is also expected.

The intention from organisers is for the hīkoi to be a peaceful march which causes minimal disruption. However, with NZ Police estimates of the gathering on 19 November attracting between 15,000-25,000 people, we anticipate there may be significant congestion on our region’s roads between the hours of 06.00am and 12.30pm.

All appointments at Wellington Regional Hospital will go ahead as planned, but please allow extra time to get to your appointments.

Thank you.
