Hutt City Councillor calls out budget ‘trickery’
- WCC Watch
- It wouldn’t hurt a few of Wellington’s supposedly opposition Councillors to take a leaf out of Wainuiomata Ward, Hutt City Councillor, Campbell Barry’s book and actually put a spotlight on Council finances.

Sarah Free opens a can of worms
- WCC Watch
- Island Bay’s Green Eastern Ward battler, Sarah Free, may not have attracted a whole heap of attention in the last term – but she knows how to build a mean worm farm. Green credentials: TICK! Bottled worm piss: TICK!

New ways to waste money – it’s the #wadebrownwccway
- WCC Watch
- We got a little bored with the Island Bay cycleway debacle – and judging by the Mayor’s lack of support in the media Celia Wade-Bicycle is also giving her troubled Island Bay project a wide berth.

Mayor (inadvertently) highlights land for social housing
- WCC Watch
- In one of those quirks of history many New Zealand councils established golf courses to keep the people active and despite Government efforts being a little more sophisticated these days, Wellington ratepayers still own a course at Berhampore.

When the media advocate racism to hide the real culprits behind bad driving

Harcourts - Court says no to demolition
- Iona Pannett
- Great news today that the Environment Court has for the second time said no to demolishing the Harcourts building on Lambton Quay. The decision just made public essentially has vindicated the Council position: that our District Plan sets a high bar for demolishing heritage buildings and that in this case, the bar was not reached. Interestingly, the Court also found no fundamental conflict between the operation of the Building and Resource Management Acts and found that leaving the building standing would not fundamentally compromise public safety.

Is the ugliest building in Wellington?
- Iona Pannett
- Great news that NZ owned TSB Bank has signed for another 10 year sponsorship deal for the Arena on the waterfront but I do think this is the worst building in the city - monolithic, no architectural merit, still do not know how it got oonsent. Needs a wrecking ball through it and a redesign.

The tide is turning and Green is becoming mainstream
- Iona Pannett
- Today, I felt optimistic as I sat in a room of property developers and other related professionals to talk about the future of the Northern end of the CBD including a small part of Thorndon, there was no talk of flyovers, denial of climate change and the inequality that exists througout the world.

Some great Kelburn architecture
- Iona Pannett
- Always enjoy a walk around Kelburn and nice to be there as part of the St Michael's Village fair. Took photos of these two buildings on the way home. One a good example of some fine public architecture, the other a good example of how to do a house extension well.

Mind the gap

- People have rightly asked me my positions on transport, the environment, the Basin Reserve flyover, and libraries. These weren’t put in my manifesto in April 2013 because I assumed that they would not be hot election issues, and that candidates (whomever they might be—since only Dr Keith Johnson had declared then) would have largely [...]
