• • Dixon Street flats

    • 6 Dec 2022
    • Eye of the Fish
    • But the big news this week has to be the somewhat silly news that the Dixon Street flats are being emptied out and there is not a clear story of what happens to the building next. This is not a sob storey like the Gordon Wilson Flats just around the corner – well, at least, it hasn’t started off the same.

• • Priority: reliable buses

    • 24 Nov 2022
    • Wellington Scoop
    • The Regional Council has today given me the job of Transport Chair. My top priority is a reliable bus service and, to achieve that, I’ll have a laser-like focus on building up the driver workforce. I also want to make sure our transport network is accessible and affordable to everyone. At the same time as we fix these immediate problems, we also need to prepare Wellington for the future. I’ll be working to accelerate delivery of mass transit through the city so that as Wellington grows we can all get around smoothly, safely and in clean, low emission way

    • This post was going to be called “New School of Music” but then I thought – no, hold on, this could really cause a stink. What if…? Is it? Was it? No, surely not. But maybe….? Who knows? I’ve just been alerted to the revised scheme for what was at one stage known as the new “School of Music” down by the Michael Fowler Centre – or more accurately, on the site of the MFC carpark and smack bang in the viewpoint of the Amora Hotel. Amazingly, it is a full public notification, and must be costing someone millions to do this – and it closes in just a very few days. Monday?

• • Small notice, big building

    • 16 Nov 2022
    • Wellington Scoop
    • Did any of you see a small sign in a spot that’s only visible if you’re catching the courtesy bus to Zealandia? It’s a notice about a resource consent application for a new building that will tower over the Michael Fowler Centre, the Town Hall, and neighbouring buildings. Nearly 40 metres high, when the allowable height is is 27 metres, promoted as the home of Victoria University’s National Music Centre but predominantly an office building with what seems to be a significant loss of green open space.
