It's working! The new District Plan in action.
- A City for People
- It’s been a month since the Minister for Housing approved Wellington’s trailblazing new District Plan. Thanks to four years of campaigning, and your support, this new Plan has raised building height limits across the city, making it easier to build townhouses and apartments in the places we need them most. It’s early days, but we’re already seeing signs of success. Wellington is finally going to get more homes.

- Live Wellington - a liveable city by design
- BLOG BY PHIL KELLIHER. Just two years ago the housing market was in a frenzy, with properties going for silly money. But now it’s the opposite.

10 reasons to support character
- Live Wellington - a liveable city by design
- So much has changed since the Wellington City Council voted in June 2021 to strip demolition protection from more than two-thirds of the city's character areas. LIVE WELLington argues it's time for a re-think, and to strike a better balance. We provided this letter to Wellington councillors, in the lead up to the notification of the proposed District Plan on 23 June 2022.

Council report shows no need for radical planning changes in inner city Wellington
- Live Wellington - a liveable city by design
