    • You may have seen the cover of March issue of Metro magazine. Madeleine Sami, hanging off the Sky Tower, looking all glam while holding a miniature Peter Jackson/King Kong. "Auckland rules OK! How Wellington's losing the cultural wars" the headline reckons.  Oh noez! Is it true? Are Bats theatre and Te Papa and the City Gallery and the Cuba Carnival mere piffle in the face of the mi

    • At last I get some time to preview this week's new releases and, frankly, it hardly seems worth it. I've just got in from two of the most dispiriting experiences I've had in a cinema in some time. Full reviews will come when I've had a chance to find the right kind of language to describe precisely how unambitious Fast & Furious and 17 Again are, a challenge I must rise to before Capital Times

Story goes, guy bought ring for girl, girl didn't want ring. Guy couldn't give it to another, and doesn't want to sell it.

• • Hands Around The Basin: Sunday 25 September, 12 noon

    • 18 Sep 2011
    • Sustainable Wellington Transport
    • As you probably know, consultation on the NZ Transport Agency’s ill-conceived flyover designs have now closed. But we’re increasingly concerned that the Agency intends ignoring the groundswell of opposition, as they did in a previous stage of consultation – where 79% of submissions were opposed to a flyover. So we think it’s time to show how committed Wellingtonians are to keeping the Basin Reserve as a green space in the centre of our city.

    • Wellington Free Ambulance
    • Cathie explains that her decision to donate an ambulance came after meeting former Wellington Free Ambulance patron, the late Shirley Martin. “I’d had a dream that I wanted to do this, thought about it, talked to the whole family, and that’s how it came about. I then met Shirley – she was absolutely lovely, she told me all about Wellington Free Ambulance. It was from there I knew this was what I wanted to do,” Cathie says.

    The Golden Mile Project is already a Failure

    • 25 Oct 2021
    • Wellington Commuter
    • Wellington is growing and committed to increased use of public transport But the Golden Mile Project will not improve bus capacity so how will the 13,000 future bus commuters get to are work? It’s not that LGWM failed to increase bus capacity along the Golden Mile, it’s that they did not even try … Wellington will greatly increase its bus usage Wellington faces serious peak time congestion mainly because we so much employment based in our CBD. … Read more ...

    • 18 Aug 2010
    • Architectural Centre Inc
    • Almost every time I catch a bus the thing that strikes me (other than the almost always lateness of Wellington buses), is how inadequate bus stops are in their design for shelter. It seems that I’m not the only one thinking this way …. With the invention of Adshel and its nasty advertising props parading, inadequately, as bus shelters, is there really any hope that public transport might become the prime mode of moving people around the city?

    • The Wellingtonista
    • In 1959 a couple sell their house. At 3pm on a Saturday afternoon, their neighbours casually call in to see how packing is going. During the friendly discussion information about the buyers is revealed and tempers flare. In 2009 members of a community meet at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon to discuss neighborhood covenants before the new couple in the community start making alterations. Although their lives seem similar on the surface, their motivations are different, setting up conflict.

    Affordable housing in the CBD – a pipe dream

    • 14 Oct 2020
    • Wellington Scoop
    • Partly as a byproduct of the Spatial Plan and partly because of the real-world challenge of trying to find well-priced housing in an increasingly expensive city, the current debates are tending to polarise into the people who want to preserve heritage and the people who want a sensibly-priced place to live. Both ambitions are laudable – but in Wellington, it may well be that “affordable” is not one of the feasible options, no matter how many ratty old flats we demolish.

    • How sweet. The competition to name the Inner City "Bypass" has been won by Te Aro School, with the name "Karo" Drive. Apparently, "The K represents the kids, Aro their school. Karo is also a small native New Zealand tree that produces sweetly scented red flowers in Spring and grows very well in Wellington". Maybe it's just me, but I don't usually associate "sweetly scented red flowers" with a bloody great arterial road that's been shoved through a city neighbourhood.

• • Cost of flyover rises by $10 million (Updated)

    • 2 Mar 2009
    • Save the Basin Reserve!
    • In the original consultation documents for the Ngauranga to Airport Corridor Plan, the flyover was being costed by NZTA at $27 million - although they have declined to provide any substantiation for their figures, and are currently claiming "commercial sensitivity" for how these numbers were arrived at. But in the media coverage of the prioritisation of the flyover as the number 2 item on the regional transport wish-list, the cost has inexplicably risen by $10 million, to a quoted $37 million.

Beverley Holder was welcomed as the new President of Orienteering Wellington, taking over from Paul Teesdale-Spittle, who has dedicated many years to leading the club. Beverley has been deeply involved, most recently helping steer a successful Oceania organising committee. Draft minutes from the AGM 2024 will soon be available on the website Morag McLellan Helen Hughes Wellington makes waves at Oceania Oceania was a fantastic event, with over 700 orienteers from both sides of the Tasman and further enjoying beautiful courses at Massey University (sprint) and Santoft forest maps of Koitiata (middle), Knottingly (long), and Parewanui (relay). Orienteering Wellington members achieved some impressive results, especially Lizzie Ingham, who reigned supreme by taking first in Women’s 21E for the Sprint, Middle, and Long events. Jake McLellan also shone with a second place in M20E Sprint and Long courses, and both he and Rachel Baker were part of the New Zealand junior teams that won their Trans-Tasman relay competitions. Orienteering Wellington can be proud of hosting a brilliant event for all. A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteers, particularly Helen Hughes, who wrangled the volunteers to ensure everything ran seamlessly each day. 2025 subscriptions now due Members attending the AGM resolved to raise subscriptions by 20% to cover Orienteering New Zealand levies—our first increase in quite some time!

    Azúcar / Sugar

    • 26 May 2025
    • Toi Pōneke
    • What is the connection between sugar, colonisation, global trade and climate change? Azucar/Sugar is an explorative gallery experience that uses sugar sculptures, videos and digital art to trace how European and US conquest terraformed the environment from a living entity that encompassed the living spirits of the land, water, plants, animals and humans into an inert repository of resources to be harvested and harnessed for profit. Azucar/Sugar is the latest installation from With Lime, the long-standing collaboration between William Franco and Miki Seifert.

    Call/Waiting

    • 31 Mar 2023
    • Urban Dream Brokerage
    • Call/Waiting is an app-enabled interactive experience which invites you, the participant, to dial into a curious series of voicemails while you make your way around Pōneke. It’s part pick-a-path novel, part audio tour. A brand new work by Olivia Mahood and Poppy Serano (O+P Works), made in collaboration with Pickpath. Call/Waiting is a 30 minute experience. It begins when you access the app via your Apple or Android smartphone. You control your experience and how long you spend in it.

    • We've been heartened and humbled by the messages of support and goodwill we've received over the last week. As we set to work over the next few months revitalising and strengthening our theatre ahead of 2012, knowing our community is behind us is vital. We have a number of events and initiatives planned where those who have asked how you can help will be able to make a real difference. In the meantime, we'd like to share some of the kind words we've received.

    Welcomes and Congratulations

    • Amesbury Drive School Blog
    • Welcome back to term 3. It was lovely to see all the smiling faces as students arrived at school yesterday. I hope everyone managed to enjoy their holidays and have begun the term feeling refreshed and ready for a HUGE term of learning. We are excited about this term. Our student achievement data from terms 1 and 2 is looking pretty good. However, as a staff, we met yesterday to discuss how we can continue to improve the achievement of our students over the next two terms.
