    Aotearoa's first solar-battery powered Community Emergency Hub

    • 5 Sep 2024
    • Wellington Regional Emergency Management Office (WREMO)
    • Innovative post-disaster emergency telecommunications implemented at Naenae Community Emergency Hub. After a major disaster like an earthquake or storm, damaged infrastructure and power outages can make it hard for people to stay connected with loved ones and services. This can impact community well-being, as well as response and recovery efforts. To address this, a pilot project was implemented to test an innovative solution that will provide power and internet access to the community after a disaster.

• • To Rail or not to Rail

    • 30 Jan 2008
    • Eye of the Fish
    • The Wellington urban class really wants light rail. And why wouldn’t they? Light rail is sexy transit…cruise smoothly, comfortably, and quickly to the local tiki bar; no more lurching starts and stops, no more endless waits behind four other buses boarding at the stop on Willis Street, no more fighting with cars for road space. And so there seems to be a grumbling undercurrent regarding the position of the Ngauranga-to-Airport strategic study report.

    Seconds v Kapiti Coast United - 11/4/09

    • 12 Apr 2009
    • Brooklyn Northern United AFC
    • BNU Seconds 0 - Kapiti Coast United 3 It was a lovely day for football. The Kapiti Coast had put on a nice day, Weka park was in good nick and the Second team looked strong. However, we got off to a pretty slow start and Kapiti were putting on the pressure by playing simple through-ball football. And their strategy worked. We got caught out by not clearing the ball well enough and Kapiti put one p

• • Downstage tribute to Martyn Sanderson

    • 15 Oct 2009
    • Downstage Theatre
    • It is with great sorrow that the Board, Staff and Members of Downstage Theatre, received news of the passing last night of founder and former director, Martyn Sanderson. Martyn was one of several visionary Wellingtonians who worked together in 1963 and 1964 to start Downstage, New Zealand's first professional theatre, and he appeared in or directed many early productions, including starring with Peter Bland in the first production on the Cambridge Terrace site: Edward Albee's Zoo Story.

    Hilton Petone 2013

    • 20 Mar 2013
    • Brooklyn Northern United AFC
    • Having trained through the off season, and pre-season proper kicking off in early January, the BNU men's first team were keen to trade hurdles, ladders and running shoes for boots, game day and some serious opposition. The 2013 Hilton Petone tournament certainly gave us the opportunity to put our plans into practice. Our group consisted of our neighbours - Island Bay, North Wellington under 19's and our bogey team of last season, Kapiti Coast United.

    • It seems very restrictive to be limited to one favourite modernist building, but if forced to choose I nominate the Wanganui War Memorial Hall, designed by Gordon Smith in the firm of Newman, Smith & Greenough, and completed in 1960. This is a sophisticated and polished public building, designed and built at a time when […]

    •   In New Zealand, there is a tradition of conserving ‘old’ buildings made of timber and stone. There is also a more recent ‘tradition,’ of owners and their architects who scrub their buildings so white, they look surgically enhanced, erasing all character and grace. The ever hardening appearance of Ponsonby’s Franklin Road over the past […]
