Save the Basin Reserve! / August 2009
The Basin Reserve is one of the world's iconic cricket grounds, and New Zealand's oldest dedicated cricket pitch. It's an oasis of green space in the heart of the capital. But there is widespread community concern about the intention of three government agencies - the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) and the Wellington City Council (WCC) - to build a huge concrete flyover across the northern side of the Basin Reserve, destroying the atmosphere of the Basin Reserve forever.

D-Day for the Basin
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- Today is likely to be a day of infamy for the Basin Reserve. The NZ Transport Agency is announcing the funding priorities for the Wellington region, and the Basin Reserve flyover is likely to remain as the number two priority, despite 89% of submitters being opposed to such a high priority for such a pointless project.
