Is WCC abandoning the community on the airport?
- 17 Nov 2021
- Inside Wellington
- In a post earlier this year, I talked about Wellington Airport’s plan to expand over Miramar’s golf course. This week, as the world painfully tried to reach an agreement in Glasgow, I wrote about the community groups trying to oppose this antiquated project. The Wellington City Council owns a third of the airport and as such, needs to support decisions in the airport’s best interests. But WCC must also support the community’s best interests. It is stuck between a rock and hard place, a situation which will not solve itself anytime soon with the recent decision to not sell its share in the airport.

A story of David and Goliath
- 14 Nov 2021
- Inside Wellington
- Earlier this year, WCC organised a public hearing about Wellington Airport’plans to expand over the Miramar golf course. Whether you are a keen golfer or not, the fact the airport thought a plane park was the best use of this land, in a climate and housing crisis, was shocking. Greed, unlike the land where the airport is located, does not know any limit, so the airport is trying to push through its expansion.

Colour blindness, a condition finally addressed?
- 6 Jul 2021
- Inside Wellington
- The debates on the Long Term Plan were raging, the City Council wasn’t sure if $75M were a loan for a seawall, or a grant for the runway extension, and yet, in all this fury, a Twitter user was bitter about the lack of changes to the screen displaying votes. Indeed, that screen displays the votes in green or in red. My dad is colour blind, and he can confirm: he can’t tell the difference between red and green.

Connect Wellington (Wellington Airport campaign)
- Our runway is currently too short for long-haul direct flights to be viable, so you have to get connecting flights via other airports, which can add up to 50% of extra travel time. We need to be well connected to ensure Wellington remains a cutting-edge place where people want to work and play.

Guardians of the Bays
- Guardians of the Bays is a broad-based residents’ group opposed to the proposal to extend the runway at Wellington International Airport (WIAL). We do not believe that the extension will achieve the level of benefits needed to warrant the extensive investment required. We do believe that the social, cultural and environmental costs the extension would impose on Wellington residents and the South Coast and its users are too high.
