Losing our heart
- Wellington Scoop
- Have I got this right? The Wellington City Council’s draft District Plan is proposing to remove the heritage listing protection of the heart of the city – Te Ngakau/Civic Centre, which is listed as a heritage area in the current District Plan. There’s also no regard for legal protection of the city’s two waterfront parks.

Keeping, not demolishing, the Civic Square buildings
- Wellington Scoop
- When I attended the recent Civic Trust seminar about the future of Te Ngākau Civic Square, the thing that surprised me the most was hearing the renowned architect Gordon Moller call for the retention and adaptive reuse of the Municipal Office Building (MOB) and Civic Administration Building (CAB) rather than have them demolished – as seems likely.

The case for moving the Library
- Wellington Scoop
- The Ian Athfield designed Wellington Central Library that was built in 1991 was placed just a stone’s throw, and a quarter turn around the square, from the 1940 Centennial Library building that it replaced. That building continues to provide great service as the City Gallery.

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.
