The landlord mentality on the waterfront
- 2 Dec 2012
- Wellington Scoop
- I applaud the sentiments of Lowry Bay resident Tony Cranston, whose letter about the Wellington waterfront earned top position in the DomPost yesterday. He wrote: On Wednesday, walking around the waterfront I was again impressed by its beautiful views. Wellington is very lucky to have a waterfront where one is constantly struck by the views of harbour, houses and hills on one side, and an attractive city on the other. Why the council prefers mediocre buildings to this natural beauty is a mystery. The latest example of what I call developers’ vandalism hits you right in the face as you approach Te Papa. The “conversion” of the Overseas Passenger Terminal will clearly be an over-sized monstrosity, obliterating much of Mt Victoria and its charming houses; it will tower over the marine like Darth Vader and destroy a lot of the character of that part of the waterfront. Might more councillors find some soul and save the waterfront from this landlord mentality before it’s too late?"

Amalgamation: who’s in charge?
- 30 Nov 2012
- Wellington Scoop
- Timing is everything. While most of Wellington was recovering from the Hobbit celebrations, Parliament yesterday passed the controversial Local Government Act. And the PSA’s Brenda Pilott, who watched the debate, said the new law was unwanted, undemocratic, just plain bad … “a grim day for communities.” Similar comments were made in June, when Wellington Mayor Celia Wade-Brown warned that the new legislation was ill-considered and undemocratic. She said it would allow local authorities to be amalgamated without a poll being held … thus limiting the opportunity for communities to have their say on local governance.

Talking to the Transport Agency
- 26 Nov 2012
- Wellington Scoop
- I’ve decided that Transport Agency people should be given more chances to meet the public. And we should get more chances to talk to them, too. I met some of them at their public information day on Saturday. Their cynical process of “public consultation” hasn’t worked. But talking face to face is a different experience. Not, though, on the subject of their Basin flyover proposal, which they have been trained to defend at all costs, and for which they’ve created a new set of drawings such as the one above showing a couple sunbathing under the overhead traffic.

Redefining the flyover – “a slimline elevated street”
- 22 Nov 2012
- Wellington Scoop
- What do you do if you’re under attack? You call in a public relations company. And that’s what the Transport Agency seems to have done, as opponents of its Basin flyover start gearing up their campaign. Evidence of PR expenditure is on display in the compliant, supportive DomPost this morning. On the op-ed page, Jenny Chetwynd attempts to redefine the concrete flyover. She has accepted PR advice that it should be referred to as a “slimline sweeping elevated street.”

Congratulations to the Regional Council: a Basin solution without a flyover
- 15 Nov 2012
- Wellington Scoop
- Congratulations to the Regional Council on the vote last week to revisit Option X. The Architectural Centre’s design beats the Transport Agency’s by integrating needs – it’s more sophisticated than just another stretch of State Highway 1. In 2009, the Civic Trust ran a public seminar about the Basin Reserve area to a packed house. Clearly it showed a successful solution would need to balance the interests of residents, motorists, passengers, pedestrians, and children. This has shaped our flyover response: the flyover doesn’t achieve grade separation from local traffic, and it doesn’t fit its surroundings (SH2 Dowse shows NZTA’s style). There are better ways of improving transport.

A second alternative to the flyover, and a change of heart by the Regional Council
- 8 Nov 2012
- Wellington Scoop
- The game is changing for the debate about a flyover at the Basin Reserve. Not only because of the unexpected decision by the Regional Council to reconsider its controversial support of the flyover. But also because of the news that another professionally-designed plan exists to solve traffic problems without the need for a 380-metre long bridge.

Councillors, fees, and decision making

Yes or no? What’s your opinion?
- 19 Oct 2012
- Wellington Scoop
- Yesterday, councillors resisted pressure to spend $6.9million on a temporary conference centre. Iona Pannett led the successful campaign against the big spending, and got majority support for expenditure of only $875,000. Ngaire Best moved an unsuccessful amendment to spend the larger amount. It was a narrow vote: 7 to 6.

The roar of the traffic at the Basin
- 17 Oct 2012
- Wellington Scoop
- Imagine you’re at a Test match at the Basin Reserve. Virat Kohli is at the crease. He’s on 99, eyeing up the options for his century: perhaps a push into the covers, perhaps a leg glance. The bowler runs in, thinking he has a chance, thinking that Kohli might be distracted by the impending century. He gathers himself, leaps, delivers. The ball is overpitched outside off stump, perfect for a cover drive. But as Kohli prepares to play it, he is distracted by the roar of a truck as it races along the motorway flyover that arches past the north-eastern boundary of the ground.
