Family affair
- Capital Magazine
- If you blink you could miss it. Inside is a boutique cakery with a towering array of sweet treats, freshly baked on the premises daily. Delicious creamy, herbaceous chicken and rocket sandwiches, monstrous chocolate and peanut butter brownies, and, crucially, hot coffee. Tomboy, named after her son Tomislav, says owner Kate Marinkovich, has been open for five years.

Building a road and saving 30 seconds
- Wellington Scoop
- One of the most extraordinary things about plans to bulldoze a road through the pristine Takapu Valley is the claim about how much time will be saved. They’re counting the savings in seconds. The claim is found in an Appendix to the controversial report in which the chief executives of regional councils tell their mayors that they ought to support a road through the valley.

Protecting heritage values on Mt Victoria
- Wellington Scoop
- It has been a busy year for the Mt Victoria Residents Association. One of our objectives is to protect the heritage value of Mt Victoria. This does not mean that we advocate the return of the outside privy or petition against the renovation of your kitchen or other rooms. But it does mean we try to prevent the look of Mount Victoria being spoiled by a mishmash of new buildings.

A second Mt Victoria tunnel in ten years – yes, no, maybe?
- Wellington Scoop
- Wellington Mayor Kerry Prendergast took everyone by surprise this week by enabling a headline which stated uncategorically: Green light for second Mt Vic Tunnel. The headline is in The Wellingtonian, above a report written by Rebecca Thompson. But there’s no evidence of a green light, or even an orange one.
