The war memorial motorway
- 26 Jul 2011
- Wellington Scoop
- Everyone supported the concept of lowering State Highway One into a cut-and-covered tunnel under Buckle Street. The alternative – to have a main road running through the National War Memorial Park – was stupid. No one liked the stupid idea except the NZ Transport Agency. And the Agency intends to overrule the wishes of Wellingtonians. Its decision: “Buckle Street will remain at street level.”

Basin flyover: it’s official – there’ll be noise and visual problems
- 25 Jul 2011
- Wellington Scoop
- The NZ Transport Agency has confirmed that its flyover alongside the Basin Reserve will result in “visual and noise effects.” The coy words are from the Agency’s Wellington highways manager. But he’s concerned only with minimising these problems for the cricket ground. There’s no concern that the same problems will affect the wider community.

Behind Closed Doors
- 24 Jul 2011
- Salient
- This long running exhibit at the Adam Art Gallery brings a host of canvas covering visitors to our humble, yet slightly demolished, campus to strut their stuff in the public eye. The underlying theme of the exhibit is a desire to reveal to the viewing public of Wellington the art of their city which is usually hidden away in the homes of private collectors. This curatorial directive means that the exhibition is inherently interesting on purely aesthetic basis and with a view towards understanding this little city of ours better.

Vote no for both flyover options
- 12 Jul 2011
- Wellington Scoop
- One week of the eight-week consultation period is already over – leaving less than seven weeks to tell the Transport Agency what we think of their flyovers and their other roading plans. The best suggestion so far has come from Maximus on Eye of the Fish, who recommends that everyone sends a submission saying: I vote for neither of the two options presented. I demand to see a full and fair evaluation of all the other schemes that you have had for the last 2-3 years.

Monty has his eye out for a new home
- 6 Jul 2011
- Newswire.co.nz
- MONTY the one-eyed kitten and his mate Bear are hoping for a home. They were among about 20 cats on display in Brooklyn when SPCA volunteers held an adoption run there. The scheme sees association volunteers visit suburbs at weekends to try to find homes for their charges and allows people to adopt and care for a kitten or cat which has been orphaned, sick or bottle-fed from birth.

New threats to the town belt: the expressway, and the city council
- 5 Jul 2011
- Wellington Scoop
- The loss of more of the Town Belt’s open space is threatened by new draft principles for the Town Belt which have been unanimously accepted by the Wellington City Council’s Strategy and Policy Committee (consisting of the mayor and all councillors). The principles are precursors to a council move to override the trust status of the Town Belt. And there’s another threat: the New Zealand Transport Agency wants to take away town belt land in Ruahine Street to use for its expressway to the airport. The illustration above (from the Transport Agency) shows how Ruahine Street would look after two extra lanes of traffic were been created by cutting into town belt land.

It’s revenge with a feminist twist
- 4 Jul 2011
- Newswire.co.nz
- IT’S A Midsummer Night’s Dream, but not as we know it. Wellington playwright Jean Betts’s Revenge of the Amazons, which open at Whitireia’s Performance Centre this week, has a feminist twist. Skaespeare’s traditional male players are replaced by a feminist group portraying “the agony of periods”, and swooning girls take a forceful lead in this modern adaptation.

A flyover at the Basin Reserve? The battle begins on Saturday
- 29 Jun 2011
- Wellington Scoop
- Saturday is the day when the government’s Transport Agency will tell Wellington how it intends to change the cityscape at the southern end of Kent and Cambridge Terraces. The news has been a long time in coming, but as long ago as 2008 then-mayor Kerry Prendergast said, with approval, that a flyover near the Basin Reserve would be part of the plan. Her successor doesn’t support a flyover. Indeed, the concept has few supporters except for the planners and engineers at the Transport Agency. And though there have been several good alternative proposals, the Agency doesn’t seem willing to consider them.

Frustrated, angry, bullied: Kapiti residents say new expressway will trash the district

It’s too big – council’s former planner opposes new Lambton Quay building
- 23 Jun 2011
- Wellington Scoop
- Till last year he was the Wellington City Council’s respected chief advisor on urban planning. Now he is opposing the council at a resource consent hearing for a huge new Lambton Quay building which would be four storeys higher than the legal height limit. Gerald Blunt – who left the city council last year after more than a decade of distinguished service – has this week been appearing as a consultant for a property company which is objecting to the size of the new building.
