Divided over the flyover
- Wellington Scoop
- The city council has voted in favour of a flyover at the Basin Reserve, in spite of the fact that the city continues to be deeply divided over the issue. The vote, by 7 to 6, is a disappointment for Mayor Celia Wade-Brown, who has argued against the flyover since she successfully campaigned for the mayoralty against the pro-flyover mayor Kerry Prendergast. It was a narrow win, and for a while the new council had a one-vote majority against the flyover. But then Andy Foster changed sides.

They didn’t like it but they voted yes
- Wellington Scoop
- I wish I’d been at yesterday’s Regional Council meeting. I would like to have heard more about why two regional councillors voted to support the Basin Reserve flyover after explaining why they didn’t like it. The DomPost reports from the meeting about the reluctant “yes” votes from Judith Aitken and Chris Laidlaw.

Replacing green space with green space
- Wellington Scoop
- You can’t help agreeing with Helene Ritchie. After reading a Wellington City Council document showing plans to create green space in the middle of Kent and Cambridge Terraces, she pointed out correctly that there’s already green space in this area.

Inevitable? Why one Basin flyover will be followed by a second Basin flyover
- Wellington Scoop
- The NZ Transport Agency should come clean on its flyover plans. Our practice believes that one flyover will pave the way for a second. The Agency’s proposed options for mitigation of the flyover, which it has developed in agreement with the Wellington City Council, include a “commitment to consolidate state highway traffic away from Vivian Street and into a single east-west corridor.”

The two-faced flyover
- Wellington Scoop
- The flyover at the Basin Reserve will have two faces. The Basin Reserve face is too terrible to seen by cricketers, so it will be hidden by a new $12million building paid from roading funds. The other face won’t be hidden from anyone. Its ugliness will be seen by everyone else in the city, 24 hours a day, till the flyover is eventually demolished.

Blown away by the flyover
- Wellington Scoop
- There’s a new addition to the list of bad things about the flyover that the Transport Agency wants to build alongside the Basin Reserve – motorbikes or light trucks could be blown over in strong winds while they’re on it, and there’ll be problems for pedestrians too.

“Helpful” Government Gives Our Public Meeting On Saturday 3 August A Publicity Boost
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- Want a good reason to attend the Save the Basin Public Meeting at St Joseph’s Church, cnr Brougham and Paterson Sts, Mt Victoria, from 4-5pm tomorrow, Saturday 3 August? Well, if our original invitation wasn’t enough, now you have a new reason: The Government has just announced that the resource consent hearing will be before an EPA Board of Inquiry hearing rather than before the Environment Court, as Wellington City Council had recommended. You can read the Minister’s announcement, and find out the names of those she has appointed to the Board of Inquiry, on Wellington Scoop. We’d rather the Minister had taken a few more months – or years – to make her decision, but now we know exactly what we’re up against. We were already going to tell you about NZTA’s flawed and sloppy flyover proposal, and what it means for you. Now we can also tell you with more confidence what the submission process will be, and how you can tell the Board, the Government, opposition political parties and the world at large that we do not want this ugly, outdated and unnecessary concrete monstrosity within a bull’s roar of the historic Basin Reserve.
