Have Your Say On Greater Wellington’s Basin Reserve Flyover Stance
- Sustainable Wellington Transport
- Wellington City Council has come out against the NZTA’s Basin Reserve flyover plans – but the Economic Committee of Greater Wellington (aka the Wellington Regional Council) voted to support the flyover.

Hands Around The Basin: Sunday 25 September, 12 noon
- 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.

Yesterday’s Solution
- Sustainable Wellington Transport
- In 2011, you would think two considerations would be central to transport planning; the need to reduce carbon emissions and dependence on oil. Think again… The New Zealand Transport Agency has released for consultation its scheme for the inner city section (Cobham Drive to Buckle St) of its grand Levin to Wellington Airport superhighway. What the scheme amounts to is a road building extravaganza that reeks of the 1960s and 1970s. The salient point about NZTA’s consultation is that it offers no choice. The key projects including a flyover at the Basin Reserve and a second Mt Victoria Tunnel are a fait accompli. So the public is not given any meaningful options, such as the public transport alternative.
