From today, Wellington City Council will start to remove the temporary fencing around the waterfront.
The fencing was put up in 2023, after a death in the harbour.. that was the seventh drowning since 2006.
A coroner's report in March called for urgent action in high risk areas of the waterfront .. but in August, Wellington council voted against a proposal to put up permanent fences.
