    • Open letter from Helene Ritchie to Wellington mayor and councillors I am writing in anticipation of your debate tomorrow about Frank Kitts Park, because there is significant public concern about the loss of green open public space on our waterfront. I want to alert you to a serious omission that your officers appear to have made.

    • Charmaine McLean-Whaanga was in the famous Washday at the Pa by Ans Westra as a little girl. Fifty-something years on, her grandson Chev is now a photographer himself, exploring Māori cultural identity in modern New Zealand. We asked Chev to show us around the Koraunui Marae in Stokes Valley, where he grew up.

    • Cr Fleur Fitzsimons has had encouraging feedback from across the political spectrum since she criticised last week’s external review of the Wellington City Council’s communications and engagement functions. The review recommends a “refreshed corporate identity” for the council, but Cr Fitzsimons says this makes the council seem as if it is “a corporation with something to sell, like a sneakers brand or an insurance company.”

• • Rethinking the airport barrier

    • 6 Sep 2021
    • Wellington Scoop
    • Despite being surrounded by high hills, Wellington is fortunate to have an international airport that is under 10km from its CBD, with flight approaches over Cook Strait to the south and just missing the Newland hills to the north. The drawback is the runway which forms a major physical barrier over 2km long between the city and the airport terminal and the growing population of over 20,000 residents who live east of the airport on Miramar Peninsula.

    • The buzz around women’s rugby has magnified considerably since the Black Ferns Sevens won Gold at the Tokyo Olympics. Activist Alice Soper talks to Matthew Casey about sustainable support of the women’s game at all levels, not just a flurry of excitement once every four years. Alice Soper, a former Wellington Pride front-rower, has been generating attention for the sport for some time.
