We believe the Council’s advice to Councillors was not provided with reasonable consideration of the range of development options, particularly considering physical and cultural amenity value of the bridge.

For its part, NZTA has also promised some “mitigation” of the effects of the flyover, and says that they will focus on “mitigation” to ensure that the flyover is “integrated”. Trouble is, I’m not really sure that they are talking about the same thing. wcc basinreserve government transport architecture communitygroups Tue, 05 Mar 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://architecture.org.nz/2013/03/06/mitigation/ Architectural Centre Inc 2013-03-05T00:00:00Z -41.30037055 174.7802503270504 Basin Reserve, Dufferin Street, Mount Victoria, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand http://architecture.org.nz/2012/03/21/light-rail-could-be-cheap-as-chips/ Following stunning news today from the GWRC study into the cost of a possible Light Rail system in Wellington – results have come back that the cost COULD be as LOW as $14m per km. light-rail regional-council trains transport government architecture communitygroups Wed, 21 Mar 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://architecture.org.nz/2012/03/21/light-rail-could-be-cheap-as-chips/ Architectural Centre Inc 2012-03-21T00:00:00Z http://architecture.org.nz/2012/01/17/city-barriers/ Timber posts with nautical rope strung between them are being proposed for segments of the Manners Mall in Wellington, in an effort to stop people crossing the road ‘illegally’. The proposal is by a WCC Councilor, Leonie Gill, who appears shocked and horrified that Wellingtonians have such a care-free attitude to crossing the road. manners-mall-bus-lane transport wcc bus-lanes government architecture communitygroups Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://architecture.org.nz/2012/01/17/city-barriers/ Architectural Centre Inc 2012-01-16T00:00:00Z http://architecture.org.nz/2011/06/27/wgtn-2040/ The Wellington City Council has at last started the process of telling you about WGTN 2040, the proposed Vision for the future – 29 years in the future to be exact. It has been a long time coming – a couple of years at least, but this is one of the most important consultations that the Council has ever asked the Wellington public for their opinion on. We would encourage all Wellingtonians to have some input on this – and we would also like to hear your views, so that we can also table a submission from the Architectural Centre. wcc consultation planning government issues architecture communitygroups Sun, 26 Jun 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://architecture.org.nz/2011/06/27/wgtn-2040/ Architectural Centre Inc 2011-06-26T00:00:00Z http://architecture.org.nz/2011/06/21/skyline-reservations/ Last week news of a proposed hotel development on the site of the Skyline Restaurant at the top of the cable car appeared on the front page of the Dominion Post.

In these tight financial times the plan was generally about maintaining affordable rates through prioritising spending and reducing costs by $6 million, through reducing some services, improving the efficiency of other services and deferring non-urgent work. Although it’s not all cost cutting, there is an allowance to spend $650,000 on a feasibility study for a new deep-water pool in Kilbirnie. kilbirnie consultation wcc swimming places government sport architecture communitygroups Sun, 29 May 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://architecture.org.nz/2011/05/29/deep-water/ Architectural Centre Inc 2011-05-29T00:00:00Z -41.3166456 174.7980932 Kilbirnie, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand/Aotearoa http://architecture.org.nz/2011/01/27/on-your-books/ In the mean time - here’s a round up on projects completing, underway, or even just starting off, as there a couple of new cranes that have appeared over Christmas.
