    • Submissions on the Draft Waterfront Development Plan close on Friday, and while my opinion on most of it is just "get on with it", there's one area where I'll be promoting a specific change. While the ground floors of Sites 8, 9 and 10 have been designated simply as "retail", I think that Site 10 should be explicitly set aside as an indoor sports facility to replace Sheds 1 and 6.

    Growth for Growth’s Sake

    • 24 Jun 2021
    • Eye of the Fish
    • “Art for Art’s sake – Money for God’s sake”. Or as we have it now, Growth for Growth’s sake. We now have a Council that has passed the Spatial Plan, in a decision that some have described being a battle over young vs old. Up to 80,000 more people will be able to live in our city, in a gradual process over the next 30+ years.

    10 reasons to support character

    • 21 Jun 2022
    • Live Wellington - a liveable city by design
    • So much has changed since the Wellington City Council voted in June 2021 to strip demolition protection from more than two-thirds of the city's character areas. LIVE WELLington argues it's time for a re-think, and to strike a better balance.  We provided this letter to Wellington councillors, in the lead up to the notification of the proposed District Plan on 23 June 2022.

    PHOTOS: Riverblind

    • 2 Jul 2007
    • Wellington Live Music
    • Some of the crowd at ValveSolid rock with an almost operatic vocal style is how I would attempt to describe Riverblind in one sentence. Lead singer/guitarist Dave Kempton has an incredibly powerful, smooth and melodic voice. Backed up with solid drums from Tim Whitta, and Dan Simpson throwing himself around the stage with his 6 string bass, these guys are a surprisingly powerful live act.

• • Statues or Fun?

    • 8 Jun 2010
    • Sharon Blaikie
    • So, $350 000 for a statue that will be passe in a couple of years. One of those statues like the Queen Victoria ones that cities try to fob off on each other. Yet, those events that help to make Wellington a great place to live or visit like the Cuba Street Carnival and the Newtown Fair can't be held for lack of money. How absurd!

    I love trees but not sure about this project...any views?

    • 4 Jun 2014
    • Iona Pannett
    • Thanks to Karen Fifield for pointing out this project to me of growing a forest within an apartment building in Milan. Brilliant to green our buildings but wondering how it would be to live in such a place and whether the dominance of the trees takes something away from the building. But a good effort, integrating the built and natural environment well remains a challenge.
