• • Manufacturing Consent in The Capital / Media Collusion in Wellington?

    • 4 May 2007
    • Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
    • This week in the Capital's politics the temperature rose steeply over the District Plan and infill housing. That was driven by the City's news maker the Dompost with a series of reports designed to give a favourable impression of a Council that has been papering over the cracks of a permissive District Plan.

• • Chews three

    • 8 May 2007
    • WellUrban
    • Retail space has been tight in Wellington for quite some time, especially along the Golden Mile. That's led to some retailers worrying about being "forced out of the CBD" by high rents, and while some are certainly having to move away from Lambton Quay and Willis St, that's not entirely a bad thing.

• • Bus Angst #32

    • 13 Feb 2007
    • The Wellingtonista
    • Two words: bloody buses. Actually, here's a few more. This particular Wellingtonista had to wait forty minutes last evening for even one bus to turn up on his route. Of course, when one did, it was packed to the gunnels, so it sailed by the stop, as did the next, and the next.

    Aisle be Back: End of year tour, the NPC quarter-finals and Australian rugby

    • 11 Oct 2024
    • Wellington Club Weekly
    • By Kevin McCarthy Shock and horror, The All Blacks are taking Sam Cane and TJ Perenara on the Northern tour. They’ll probably play three games each – maybe less. That means two young players will miss out on international experience. Well, quite probably – just ask Billy Proctor – will get to spend a month...

    • Like the Wellingtonista, the library too is celebrating NZ Music month - they're hosting a quiz that always ends with the chance to win a well known brand of MP3 player. Nice. But even better, there's a performance by local Super Group The Wellington International Ukelele Orchestra this Thursday 12:30pm at the library.

• • Notional Significance: Skyway

    • 3 May 2011
    • The Wellingtonista
    • [See all Notional Significance posts] The stretch of motorway that leaps out from the bluff was known in the Sixties as the “Kaiwarra-Thorndon Skyway”, incongruously combining the Jetsonian optimism of the term “skyway” with a mangled contraction of “Kaiwharawhara” that today would only be used by Pakeha blokes of a certain age.

    Demolition not the Answer

    • 25 Feb 2013
    • Eye of the Fish
    • So: the results are out from the Commissioners: Mark Dunajtschik may not demolish the “Harcourts” building. That’s an interesting result – and opposite to that recommended by the Council’s own planning officers – and Mr Dunajtschik is furious. We wrote about it here, and also here, and this decision sets out quite clearly that demolition [...]
