Destroying our past
- Wellington Scoop
- Heritage is contested by many and loved by others. The Mayor and Councillor McNulty want it as just a political whim. They’ve written a letter to RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop asking for the power to remove heritage buildings from district plan rules by a simple Council majority vote. The letter says this request is “on behalf of the Wellington City Council,” though it was never discussed by councillors.

Behind the hoarding: Town Hall site visit
- Wellington City Council
- There’s a lot to love about the Wellington Town Hall. It’s reputed to have one of the best acoustic chambers in the world, it’s lovely to look at, and it has a history full of memorable stories, including the time the ceiling, dead pigeons and their nests collapsed onto an international act during their concert.
