Triangular Parks
- Eye of the Fish
- With a brief flurry of media attention last week, and typical fluffy media attention more on Miley Cyrus than the ideas inside, the Wellington 2040 vision was confirmed by a Council meeting. Today, there will be the opening of two container consultation stations (one in Te Aro Park and one on the Waterfront?) which will unveil some of the report. And finally, next week, the public may get a chance to really see what has been proposed.

The still waters of the Manawatu
- Wellington Region Cycleways
- The Moutoa Recreation Reserve is a bit of DOC land on the banks of the Manawatu River between the river and the flood channel. I had a bit of a leg stretch on that stretch of the river on a sunny still day last week. I thought I’d share a couple of photos.

Stellar
- Eye of the Fish
- In contrast to the Stalla building proposed for lower Taranaki St, just a few days before that was announced, another building appeared in the property press, bound for Victoria St. This other building, seemingly only known as 101 Victoria St at present, is higher though – double the height in fact – yes, not 11, but a cool 22 storeys high. Interestingly, that’s still about 5m short of the height limit in the Victoria St “high city” height limit. Still, as it reaches for the stars, I’m going to christen it Stellar. I hope they don’t mind.
