The Big Chill
- Downtown Community Ministry
- Wellington summer? No, it’s an appeal to help DCM purchase a new freezer for the FoodBank. Last Friday, the large chest freezer which has served us well for over 15 years finally died. We’re now down to just one freezer and haven’t got enough space to freeze all the food donations that come in.

Primo Surpremo: architectural justice?
- Architectural Centre Inc
- Opened this week with princely aplomb, the symbol of New Zealand’s self-sufficient justice system, ironically begins its life with Royal approval. The local architectural opinions though have not been so benevolent towards this Primo Supremo architecture … but - as I heard from one friend the other day - WaM are big enough and ugly enough to take a bit of criticism … so let’s start with the crowning glory of the building - that hulking bit of welded bronze trying hard - but not succeeding - to be a pohutakawa-ish screen.

We respond to NZTA's disinformation
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- The NZ Transport Agency has created a few web pages about the Basin Reserve flyover, and it's pretty apparent they are trying to hide their real intentions behind some slick PR spin. Having looked at their Frequently Asked Questions and Orwellian answers, we thought it might be useful to provide the real responses to the questions.

FAQs: The Real Answers
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- The NZ Transport Agency has provided some FAQs about the Basin Reserve flyover, which are an exceptional display of Orwellian double-speak - so we thought we'd boil off the weasel-words and provide the actual answers to the questions, as well as some questions (and answers) that NZTA would prefer weren't asked.

The NZTA consultation process
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- Before Christmas the NZ Transport Agency began an "engagement process" with groups who are regarded as stakeholders in the Basin Reserve project. (This is euphemistically referred to as the "Basin Reserve Traffic Improvements", rather than being called a flyover. George Orwell would be proud.) In a series of meetings - which included the Save The Basin Reserve Campaign - NZTA outlined the next stages of the consultation process.
