Guardians of the Bays / February 2016
Guardians of the Bays is a broad-based residents’ group opposed to the proposal to extend the runway at Wellington International Airport (WIAL). We do not believe that the extension will achieve the level of benefits needed to warrant the extensive investment required. We do believe that the social, cultural and environmental costs the extension would impose on Wellington residents and the South Coast and its users are too high.
