    • Tulips, tours, art, "Crafty Fifi", the legendary Fairy Trina and more at this year's Spring Festival in the Botanic Gardens. Running from 28 September until 12 October. I can confirm that the recent (and typical for this time of year) gales have not denuded the tulip gardens & so weather permitting, Tulip Sunday on the first day of the Festival, should be a beautiful way to spend an hour or two communing with nature.

At the Architectural Centre, we have been advocating this for a number of years now - we hosted a Symposium on the design of the ‘Memorial Park’ in 2007, and the over-whelming feedback from the group of assembled experts was that the roadway through the park should be lowered.

They are doing a lot with the resources they have  and they’d like to do more! For a start they are aiming to have a community event every two months. The next one will be something to celebrate women’s lives and contribution.

• • Councils back Government decision on Wellington’s Mass Rapid Transport future

    • 6 Jul 2022
    • Greater Wellington Regional Council
    • Greater Wellington and Wellington City Council today approved the preferred Mass Rapid Transport option for the Let’s Get Wellington Moving (LGWM) programme, the same option endorsed by Government last week. The preferred option, known as option 1, introduces Mass Rapid Transit to the South Coast and continuous bus priority to the East, and focuses on a new Mt Victoria tunnel with dedicated provision for public transport, walking and cycling, as well as upgrades at the Basin Reserve to improve flows and physically separate movements and extend the Arras tunnel. As a package this option moves the most people possible from the southern and eastern suburbs, supports the most housing and urban development of all the options, and makes city streets better for everyone.

    • Now that the NZ Transport Agency has got the letter it wanted from the Wellington City Council supporting the Ngauranga to Airport Corridor Plan, how about they reciprocate and provide the plans they've denying Wellingtonians for the last two years? In fact, if he really wanted to be a champion for the Basin Reserve, pro-roading WCC councillor John Morrison could get nine of his peers to support an extraordinary meeting, where the Council could decide to send a letter to the NZ Transport Agency demanding they release the designs for the Basin Reserve flyover immediately. Now that really would be putting your money where your mouth is! Or is John Morrison only ever a lion when it comes to building roads? read more
