Crowds are building in the centre of Wellington as Hīkoi mō te Tiriti descends towards Waitangi Park.
The participants left Takapūwāhia Marae earlier this morning. They will gather at Waitangi Park before they leave for Parliament around 9am.
The group will walk on foot from Waitangi Park along the Golden Mile (Courtenay Place, Manners Street, Willis Street, and Lambton Quay).
Traffic on SH1 is starting to build and motorists are advised to avoid travelling this morning if possible or to expect delays.
Traffic management plans are in place at Waitangi Park and the Parliament precinct, but commuters can expect there will also be delays in these areas.
More specific information can be found on the Wellington City Council, Metlink and NZTA websites.
Police have had no issues reported so far, and continue to provide an increased presence around Wellington to ensure the safety of the participants and wider community.
