Roadkill and official information release shows growing mustelid pest problem for region
- Greater Wellington Regional Council
- In bad news for birdlife, roadkill and trappings have shown that Transmission Gully is a mustelid highway - with stoats, ferrets and weasels among the animals using it to get around. An official information release from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport agency shows 226 pests were trapped between November 2022 and January 2024, with rats, stoats, weasels, hedgehogs, mice, ferrets, possums, and rabbits all making the list. Chair of Greater Wellington, Daran Ponter, says that the news is worrying for conservation efforts like Capital Kiwi and Predator Free Wellington and that current central government budgets are wholly inadequate.

There was some discussion about the next steps for the Plimmerton Farm development. Greater Wellington Regional Council update Jenny explained that there is low leakage in the water treatment pipes. There will be workshops run by DIA regarding the proposal for large scale water authorities.

Taking The Wheel: The Government Makes More Moves To Rebalance Transport
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- As Wellington waits for an announcement in its transport future, the Government is continuing to make moves to reshape transport in New Zealand away from over-reliance on the private car and towards a balanced system that gives as many people as possible options for getting off the roads: The new Government Policy Statement on Land Transport represents a significant change away from the previous Government’s motorway-dominated transport priorities, as Isabella Cawthorn explains on Talk Wellington. On Newshub, Thomas Coughlan says that public transport is the big winner in the new strategy. The previous National-led Government was completely impervious to the well-accepted research finding that adding new capacity encourages more people into cars. The news that the Government is considering tolling Transmission Gully to help prevent this is an encouraging sign that the feared flood of additional cars into Wellington from the North may not materialise. While we wait to see whether the Government’s new, balanced approach will succeed in cutting Wellington’s motorway-building cabal off at the pass, why not find out how another seaside city, Vancouver, has succeeded in making its transport system work for people, not the other way around?

NZTA roads explained
- Eye of the Fish
- Since Scoop posted a top-secret document online, via Peter Dunn, I’ve been trying to make sense of what NZTA and the Mayors of our cities, are up to. In the end, i figured that the only way I could make sense of the discussion was to make my own maps. The lack of coordinated and articulate maps from NZTA is either deliberate, or by accident. If it is an accident, then it’s down to gross incompetence, and if it’s deliberate, then it’s simply a political desire to keep you/us in the dark. You can make your own mind up. If they won’t do it, and show us some maps, then I will. So, here are some maps. Let’s start off with an easy one: where is Transmission Gully?

They’re talking about a new motorway: “exciting” … “wonderful” … “delighted”
- Wellington Scoop
- There were many exclamations of delight to greet Friday’s announcement of approval to build a 27 km four-lane motorway through Transmission Gully. Fran Wilde said the decision was “great news.” Gerry Brownlee said it was “an exciting and important milestone.” Wellington employers said it was “wonderful.” CentrePort was “delighted.” The deputy mayor of Porirua was “absolutely delighted.” But her statement touched on one of the negatives of the $930m project:

Transmission Gully – knight in shining armour or Trojan horse?
- Sustainable Wellington Transport
- I have a friend who lives at Paekakariki. When he bought his house it was a small, quiet seaside town. Now it is a small seaside town, but not quiet. The main road traffic roars past day and night, ruining his peace. And there are many people in Pukerua Bay, Plimmerton, Mana, and Paremata telling the same story. It is these people who have been pushing for the Transmission Gully Motorway (TGM) – the knight in shining armour that will rescue them from the traffic baddie.

Gerry Brownlee – please cancel Transmission Gully
- Eye of the Fish
- There is a road proposal, with a cost to benefit ratio that flies out the window, for a road that goes up an earthquake fault line, is steeper for longer than Ngauranga Gorge, and is going to cost over a billion $$, which neither central nor local government has the money to finance. On a list of projects that need to be cancelled to pay for the rebuilding of Christchurch, I’d put this one right at the very top. Wouldn’t you?
