We respond to NZTA's disinformation
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- The NZ Transport Agency has created a few web pages about the Basin Reserve flyover, and it's pretty apparent they are trying to hide their real intentions behind some slick PR spin. Having looked at their Frequently Asked Questions and Orwellian answers, we thought it might be useful to provide the real responses to the questions.

The NZTA consultation process
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- Before Christmas the NZ Transport Agency began an "engagement process" with groups who are regarded as stakeholders in the Basin Reserve project. (This is euphemistically referred to as the "Basin Reserve Traffic Improvements", rather than being called a flyover. George Orwell would be proud.) In a series of meetings - which included the Save The Basin Reserve Campaign - NZTA outlined the next stages of the consultation process.
