Translating the Transport Agency
- 26 Sep 2014
- Wellington Scoop
- We’ve all looked at some of the Transport Agency’s pronouncements over recent years and wondered what they really meant. Fear not, we’re here to save the day by translating their latest statement on the Basin Reserve flyover appeal – from High Bureaucratese into Plain English:

Three years of chaos: Wellington’s public transport plan, and how to fix it
- 16 Sep 2014
- Wellington Scoop
- Since the Transport Agency’s Basin Reserve flyover plan was cancelled, there’ve been claims that it has thrown Greater Wellington’s Public Transport Plan into chaos. In fact the plan has been in chaos much longer: at least three years. The 2014 plan has been approved but is in reality a train-wreck. Dramatic improvements in public transport usually need institutional change, which is now clearly essential in Wellington.

Opus and the flyover
- 9 Sep 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- It’s evident that the Wellington consulting company Opus is being employed to give substantial support to the Transport Agency’s plan for a flyover alongside the Basin Reserve. This is shown by the fact that of the 21 technical reports commissioned by the Agency in favour of the flyover, ten of them were written by Opus.

Divided over the flyover
- 23 Aug 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- The city council has voted in favour of a flyover at the Basin Reserve, in spite of the fact that the city continues to be deeply divided over the issue. The vote, by 7 to 6, is a disappointment for Mayor Celia Wade-Brown, who has argued against the flyover since she successfully campaigned for the mayoralty against the pro-flyover mayor Kerry Prendergast. It was a narrow win, and for a while the new council had a one-vote majority against the flyover. But then Andy Foster changed sides.

They didn’t like it but they voted yes
- 22 Aug 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- I wish I’d been at yesterday’s Regional Council meeting. I would like to have heard more about why two regional councillors voted to support the Basin Reserve flyover after explaining why they didn’t like it. The DomPost reports from the meeting about the reluctant “yes” votes from Judith Aitken and Chris Laidlaw.

Replacing green space with green space
- 21 Aug 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- You can’t help agreeing with Helene Ritchie. After reading a Wellington City Council document showing plans to create green space in the middle of Kent and Cambridge Terraces, she pointed out correctly that there’s already green space in this area.

The two-faced flyover
- 12 Aug 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- The flyover at the Basin Reserve will have two faces. The Basin Reserve face is too terrible to seen by cricketers, so it will be hidden by a new $12million building paid from roading funds. The other face won’t be hidden from anyone. Its ugliness will be seen by everyone else in the city, 24 hours a day, till the flyover is eventually demolished.

Inevitable? Why one Basin flyover will be followed by a second Basin flyover
- 12 Aug 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- The NZ Transport Agency should come clean on its flyover plans. Our practice believes that one flyover will pave the way for a second. The Agency’s proposed options for mitigation of the flyover, which it has developed in agreement with the Wellington City Council, include a “commitment to consolidate state highway traffic away from Vivian Street and into a single east-west corridor.”

Blown away by the flyover
- 8 Aug 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- There’s a new addition to the list of bad things about the flyover that the Transport Agency wants to build alongside the Basin Reserve – motorbikes or light trucks could be blown over in strong winds while they’re on it, and there’ll be problems for pedestrians too.

Three lanes into two for the new Buckle Street tunnel
- 28 Mar 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- Most Wellingtonians rightly believe that the Basin Reserve flyover will be a very expensive eyesore. Some have accepted it with the idea that it will improve traffic flows. But after a careful examination of the Transport Agency’s working plans, it seems obvious that the flyover will not improve overall traffic flows, but will more likely make rush hour traffic worse and cause more accidents.

Thursday’s flyover vote: the best interests of the coolest little capital
- 17 Mar 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- I’ve been told that a couple of the Wellington city councillors who opposed the flyover in December may be thinking of switching sides. We won’t know till Thursday’s meeting. But it would be a negative result for the city if any of the eight are giving up.

Fran versus Celia: flyover tactics, closed minds, and a super bureaucracy
- 11 Mar 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- The Transport Agency’s no-choice tactics to promote a Basin Reserve flyover have evidently appealed to Fran Wilde and her supporters on the regional council’s local-government-reform working party. The working party has come up with two options for local government reform – and they’re both for a super city. They’re no-choice options.

Unaffordable? Yeah, right
- 4 Mar 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- The Transport Agency and the like-minded analysts at the city council are telling us that anything other than a flyover is unaffordable at the Basin Reserve. Which is a reminder that the Agency insisted for years it couldn’t afford to put State Highway 1 into a tunnel under the National War Memorial Park. Then came a political decision, instructing the agency to move the highway underground. What had been unaffordable became affordable, in a flash.

Concrete jungle … naked concrete flyover
- 2 Mar 2013
- Wellington Scoop
- On the same day that an overseas expert condemned Auckland for building a “concrete jungle” in its CBD, the Wellington City Council was told that it couldn’t do anything to stop the Transport Agency building a “naked concrete” flyover across a historic part of the city.
