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.

Why the Spatial Plan is wrong
- Wellington Scoop
- The Draft Spatial Plan is hopelessly inadequate for citizens to accept, as they have not been properly consulted over its reasoning or its likelihood of success. Much more information is required for informed opinions to lead to good decisions.

Missed communication
- Wellington Scoop
- When the Wellington City Council asked us to comment on its new Spatial Plan, it told us the city’s population was going to increase by between 50,000 and 80,000 people over the next thirty years. This led to a great debate about adding blocks of apartments in inner city heritage areas alongside character homes. But towards the end of the consultation period, the council quietly released information that indicated all that debate may not have been necessary.

It’s agreed – where high rise apartments shouldn’t be built (and why)
- Wellington Scoop
- I agree with Guy Marriage when he opposes plans that would allow high-rise apartment buildings in narrow central city streets.

Making a submission on the Draft Spatial Plan – due by 5pm October 5th.
- Newtown Residents' Association
- We agree with the need for more housing, but tall buildings in the residential areas as proposed in this plan would result in losing the very qualities, including sun and shelter, that make Newtown a great place to live.
