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.

Wellingtonians support retention of more character areas
- Live Wellington - a liveable city by design
- A survey of Wellingtonians has found that while there is support for increasing density in the inner city suburbs, it must be done with care, and there is considerable unease about the Wellington City Council’s plans to remove protections for pre-1930s houses in the inner city suburbs.

Council report shows no need for radical planning changes in inner city Wellington
- Live Wellington - a liveable city by design
- The latest official assessment of Wellington’s housing needs shows sufficient capacity in Wellington’s inner city suburbs to meet future growth for the next 30 years, meaning the drive by the council to decimate inner city character areas is unwarranted and must be abandoned now, says LIVE WELLington.

The CBD is emptying and it is a good thing
- Inside Wellington
- Recently, on the days when I come into the CBD, I am acutely aware of how I am dragging my feet. Coming to town means a noisier environment (in and out of the office) with lower air quality, it costs an arm and a leg, it takes time, and you run the risk of catching a nasty virus. So why bother? It seems that many people have found working from home is much more efficient. It makes sense. As a result, with Omicron looming and rosters being established, coming into the Wellington CBD makes for a very unusual experience: it is significantly emptier. I think this is a really good sign and a step in the right direction. So let’s have a look at why, when possible, Working From Home (WFH) should be strongly promoted and embraced for good.

Appropriate height limits
- Eye of the Fish
- While it was vaguely entertaining / terrifying / gratifying / intimidating to listen to some of the 10-hour debate on the Spatial Plan the other day (pick your own adjective according to your political persuasions), what became very clear is that NO ONE – not the Mayor, not the Council Officers, Not Liam Hodgetts the City Planner, and certainly not the rabid band of Councillors – have any idea about height limits that is bounded by any semblance of the actual factual truthiness of the situation.

Growth for Growth’s Sake
- Eye of the Fish
- “Art for Art’s sake – Money for God’s sake”. Or as we have it now, Growth for Growth’s sake. We now have a Council that has passed the Spatial Plan, in a decision that some have described being a battle over young vs old. Up to 80,000 more people will be able to live in our city, in a gradual process over the next 30+ years.

Shelly Bay, the unpublished article
- Inside Wellington
- This morning, the City Council will vote on the Spatial Plan, and it will be very interesting to listen to the debates and find out about the outcome. Surprisingly, or maybe not so much, this vote reminds me of this article I wrote about Shelly Bay last year, one week after the vote. This article didn’t make it online because it was too close to so many comments and articles that had already been published. I can’t help to publish it today, in the light of the vote on the Spatial Plan:

The housing crisis debates: here we are again

The “debates” have again fallen into a battle of cliches, where everyone is accusing everyone else of being a selfish privileged boomer or a developer pawn.The final spatial plan is not yet officially back in front of the City Council, but already, Wellington social media are back to firing war zones.

The Final Spatial Plan has been released
- Inside Wellington
- Throughout all of 2020, a consultation was at the heart of passionate arguments. The Draft Spatial Plan was the second stage of a year-long program of work called “Planning for Growth”, a program designed to prepare Wellington to cater for a significant influx of new residents. Some said 30,000 were expected over the next decades, some said 80,000. The tensions were exacerbated by a soaring housing market with prices reaching absurd levels. Even people who would normally agree that “something has to be done about the housing crisis” would passionately argue over how to best address it, accusing each other of ulterior motives.

Affordable housing in the CBD – a pipe dream
- Wellington Scoop
- Partly as a byproduct of the Spatial Plan and partly because of the real-world challenge of trying to find well-priced housing in an increasingly expensive city, the current debates are tending to polarise into the people who want to preserve heritage and the people who want a sensibly-priced place to live. Both ambitions are laudable – but in Wellington, it may well be that “affordable” is not one of the feasible options, no matter how many ratty old flats we demolish.

No sign of a truce
- Wellington Scoop
- There’s no sign of a truce in the battle over Wellington’s Spatial Plan. Who’d have expected that town planning would create so much passion? Even animosity in some quarters, despite the fact that there’s so much common ground – all the opposing groups agree that Wellington needs more homes.

Planning for Growth
- Planning for Growth includes the development of a Spatial Plan for Wellington City and the full review of the District Plan. The Spatial Plan will set out our 'blueprint' for where and how we want to direct growth across the city. Whereas the District Plan is the 'rule book' that sets the rules for building heights and what types of housing and activities are permitted and where. We know that without serious changes to current District Plan building rules, Wellington will be short between 4,600 and 12,000 dwellings by 2047, which means doing nothing is not an option.
