    Predator Free 2050 – strategy review for 2030

    • 26 May 2025
    • Predator Free Wellington
    • Our project has made remarkable progress in the last five years. We've shown how to remove rats, stoats, weasels and possums from a city and hold the line. We have 1,500 hectares (and growing) of predator free city where thousands of Wellingtonians live, work and play. Something like this has never been done…

• • No plans, but they love it anyway

    • 27 Sep 2021
    • Wellington Scoop
    • There was a night of magical thinking last Thursday when Wellington City Councillors debated the proposal to support a new building on the open green waterfront lawn of Frank Kitts Park. It was led by mayor Andy Foster, who said the fale maele proposal was “a magical concept, with the potential to be a great meeting place.” But it’s impossible to understand how he knows this, because there are no plans – not even a concept drawing – for anyone to see. Nothing. Perhaps Andy was looking into a crystal ball.

• • The Wellingtonista guide to drinking for free

    • 20 Oct 2007
    • The Wellingtonista
    • Now, don't get me wrong: we Wellingtonistas are not usually parsimonious when it comes to paying for drinks. On the other hand, we're a canny and logical bunch, and it only takes about 10 free glasses of house wine to save up enough for a Mega Mai Tai, so in the long run it pays to seek out gratis grog. Let's start with the obvious: gallery openings and launches.

    How Wero helps make our city predator free

Brad and Wero live near Waitangi but they’re seldom home. Instead they often find themselves on sub-Antarctic islands, running…

    • Participation in 2007 didn't zoom up like the previous years, but after an extraordinary 2006 it was very similar to 2005. (In 2006 we ran the NZ Rogaine Champs and the NI Sec Sch Champs, whew!) There were 1925 starts, and if you count rogainers in 3hr units we get 2105. At least 75 volunteers made all this happen, thank you!

• • Vote no for both flyover options

    • 12 Jul 2011
    • Wellington Scoop
    • One week of the eight-week consultation period is already over – leaving less than seven weeks to tell the Transport Agency what we think of their flyovers and their other roading plans. The best suggestion so far has come from Maximus on Eye of the Fish, who recommends that everyone sends a submission saying: I vote for neither of the two options presented. I demand to see a full and fair evaluation of all the other schemes that you have had for the last 2-3 years.

    • Yesterday, councillors resisted pressure to spend $6.9million on a temporary conference centre. Iona Pannett led the successful campaign against the big spending, and got majority support for expenditure of only $875,000. Ngaire Best moved an unsuccessful amendment to spend the larger amount. It was a narrow vote: 7 to 6.
