| symbolism = The shield is the most important part and is first described. "Vert" means green so that is the base colour of the shield, here representing the rural countryside when Porirua was first settled. A "pile" is a V-shaped object and there are two of them, symbolising the two arms of Porirua Harbour. The lines on the piles are "wavy" like the sea and are alternatively coloured silver ("argent") and blue ("azure").<br /><br />The crest is the part above the shield, excluding the helmet. The whale and "lymphad" (sailing ship) represent whaling, which was an important early industry in the area, and the many ships that visited the harbour.<br /><br />The Supporters are the men on either side of the shield. The dexter side is the right from the shield carrier's point of view but to the left for an observer. The 58th Regiment of Foot spent time in the Porirua area in the nineteenth century, and the Māori warrior represents the long settlement of Māori in the area. The motto of "Mo Te Katoa Nga Mahi" may be translated as "All That is Done is For the Benefit of All".
