    • The Hutt knows how to throw a party
      • The Petone Fiesta has gone from strength to strength, and this year looks like it will be a bit of a stunner.

The Woolshed Sessions also play, and if you fancy something a bit louder to waggle your dags the Wellington Batucada will be out in force. Check the full line up here.

      • Children & Families MinistryMany have been aware that we have worked hard over the past year in our search for a person to fill this post. We have had the privilege of interviewing a number of worthy people but have not had the success we have wanted. This has forced us to re-think the whole ministry. Some parts are going very well such as our ministry with and through ECEC and Smash; our mini

    • Blow me away
      • Newsflash: Mill Creek Wind Farm approved, almost all intact - just 2 turbines short of the full picnic. We blogged about it before, back in June last year when it was announced and publicly notified - and we thought that the residents of Ohariu Valley might put up a bigger stink than the residents of nearby Makara did when they were confronted with Project West Wind.

    • from mike’s desk
      • The “visual arts” has never been an area of great strength or talent for me.  The nicest thing anyone has ever said about my artistic abilities was when one of my primary school teachers wrote on my school report: “Uses crayon well”!  Talk about being ”damned with faint praise”!!   However, that’s not to say I am unable to appreciate or value the visual ar

    • Waitangi
      • Around 8 years ago, the city of Wellington was in a turmoil. The aged forces of Waterfront Watch, an elderly bunch of Wellingtonians with time on their hands, decided to take on the Wellington City Council over their proposals for the waterfront land. The public was stirred up into a paroxysm of hatred for Variation 17 - what were portrayed as proposals by the WCC to allow building all over the waterfront. Waterfront Watch were largely successful, forcing the hand of the Council to reduce the scope of their ambitions, and lobbying hard for the creation of what is now Waitangi Park. And well done too - the park is great. But now there’s another proposal on the waterfront.

    • From Mike’s Desk …
      • I’ve decided that I’m not very fond of this time of the year!  You know - the time when holidays are over, and you have to go back to work, and school is getting under way again, and all of life’s normal routines and schedules are “taking over” once more.  I have to confess that I wasn’t that keen to come back to work after a few weeks of very pleasant holiday b

    • Parking Review 2009
      • WCC are reviewing the Residents Parking and Coupon Parking schemes in inner city suburbs, including Mt Cook. According to Wellington City Council, Mt Cook has 1248 households with an average of one car per household. There are 644 off-street parks, leaving 604 car owners to park in the 938 Residents or Coupon parks. In Mt Cook there are 726 residents or coupon excemption permits currently issued. On the face of it, all this seems fine. Are you having trouble parking in your street?

    • Walk the line
      • You don't have to be a trainspotter or J-line commuter to be interested in the redevelopment of the Johnsonville Line (though it undoubtedly helps). In any case, you shouldn't miss your one and only opportunity tomorrow to walk the tracks between Crofton Downs station and the Wadestown crossing loop. Highlights include spectacular views of the gorge and a couple of spooky tunnels to explore.
