    • 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 action kicks off at 6pm, 7th March, with the The Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra. 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.

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

      • Suite will show work by nine of New Zealand’s most-loved male artists from Wednesday 18 February 2009. Good keen men features John Gully, Theo Schoon, Bill Hammond, Keith Morant, Nigel Brown, Robin Morrison, Henry Winkelmann, George Chance and E. Mervyn Taylor. The exhibition shows rarely-seen works by many of the artists. Highlights include two Bill Hammond works on paper for the mid 1970s and two large vintage silver gelatine prints by Henry Winkelmann, a pioneer of New Zealand photography. Two mid-career Morrison works, from his ‘Images of a House’ and ‘Thorndon’ series juxtapose early 20th century photographer George Chance’s landscape work. Chance is known as a bestselling pictorialist photographer of his day. Good Keen Men runs from Wednesday 18 February to Saturday 7 March 2009.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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?
