Native plants in all traffic islands
- Wellington City Council
- We need to celebrate and protect native New Zealand plants by integrating them into the urban sprawl. Native plants attract birds and are much more attractive than the annual plants the council currently plants.It is such a waste that the flowers quickly die and go to seed and are then pulled out and disposed of.

New Mount Victoria Concrete Staircase
- Wellington City Council
- It asks for a concrete staircase, with stainless steel handrails, between Palliser Road and Lookout Road, from the gravel track entry points. Rests seats, with International Peace Symbols, would be on the way. It would be similar to the one between Elphinstone Avenue and Tannadyce Street, in Strathmore Park. It would bypass very steep paths.

Questionable numbers in Regional Council plan to close Kaiwharawhara station
- Wellington Scoop
- The reason for closure is that the overbridge which was built in 1934 has recently been deemed unsafe because too little has been spent on maintenance and it is now heavily corroded from the sea air. As a result the station has been temporarily closed. Tranz Metro and the Regional Council are now considering what to do ‘long term’ with the least cost scenario to repair the bridge requiring half a million dollars. However, the mention of this work apparently triggers the legislative need for a passenger ramps to meet wheelchair users which would raise the cost to $2.4 million. So the Regional Council Engineers want to close the station, citing – in their report to be put to the Council tomorrow – that only 14 commuters use the service in the AM peak.
