Destroying our past
- Wellington Scoop
- Heritage is contested by many and loved by others. The Mayor and Councillor McNulty want it as just a political whim. They’ve written a letter to RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop asking for the power to remove heritage buildings from district plan rules by a simple Council majority vote. The letter says this request is “on behalf of the Wellington City Council,” though it was never discussed by councillors.

Fit for the future: Sheet piling at the Town Hall
- Wellington City Council
- Earthquake strengthening is a must-have for buildings in Wellington, a city that sits directly on a fault line. Wellington’s newest builds, such as Tākina, Wellington convention and exhibition centre, are built with earthquake durability in the forefront of their design. But how do we approach earthquake strengthening on historic and heritage buildings so that they are fit for future use?
