24-Hour Liquor Ban for Wellington City
- Texture
- Wellington City will be under a 24-hour liquor ban as of the 31st of July. Wellington City Council voted on an amendment to the Liquor Control bylaw, which is currently effective from 5pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday until 8am the following morning. That ban is situated upon the central city, Oriental Bay and Mt Victoria Lookout. When the amendment comes into effect, Aro Valley and Central park will be added to those liquor no-go zones.

New developments re: the Cobham Park Indoor Courts
- St Mary's Old Girls Netball Club (SMOG)
- Netball Wellington have advised that although everything was moving ahead towards the resource consent process for the development of the new indoor courts at Cobham Park, this is now being reviewed as part of the Council’s Annual Plan process. Andy Foster from the council has questioned the need for 12 courts. He is pushing to revisit the ’sites analysis’ with the idea of 8 courts at the Port (if the land can be obtained) and possibly covering some courts at Hataitai (amongst other possibilities).

A self-appointed group of selfish Makara Residents, the “Makara Guardians” led by local Makara resident Jenny Jorgenson tried their hardest to get the West Wind stopped - thankfully they were tossed out in the Environment court. A similar group is also fighting the proposed Mill Creek giant wind turbines, and they’re just as selfish too.
