Save the Basin Reserve! / June 2013
The Basin Reserve is one of the world's iconic cricket grounds, and New Zealand's oldest dedicated cricket pitch. It's an oasis of green space in the heart of the capital. But there is widespread community concern about the intention of three government agencies - the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), the Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC) and the Wellington City Council (WCC) - to build a huge concrete flyover across the northern side of the Basin Reserve, destroying the atmosphere of the Basin Reserve forever.

Save the Basin Campaign Press Release: Proposed Flyover Ugly, Unnecessary and Unjustified
- Save the Basin Reserve!
- The Save the Basin Campaign today said that the New Zealand Transport Agency could spin its proposed Basin Reserve flyover however it liked, but the very fact NZTA felt it necessary to come up with various new cosmetic measures to try to hide the flyover showed that the project remained ugly, unnecessary and unjustified.
