Eye of the Fish / October 2023
We are a fledgling blog that was created to continue the legacy of Tom Beard’s superb WellUrban. Our aim is to further discourse on Wellington’s urban environment, as well to as report on the other aspects of life in the capital. Tom has set certainly high standards for us, and we wish him all the best in his new position.

Dense Hutt
- Eye of the Fish
- In all the fun and fuss over things like the Election, the country’s love affair / hatred of Winston (there is something very 1984 about Winston being the BiG Brother watching over us / controlling our every move), we (well, me) may have taken our eye off the ball. Well, not the ball, but the Hutt. It seems that the Hutt has fully adopted the MDRS changes proposed by the Government, to the extent that all the following things, which were proposed, have now been implemented, and are now operative. This includes some revisions to the Proposed District Plan, and there are many pages that look like this (only usually more words and less diagrams).
