Little Blue Penguins Plucked and Toasted - Te Kopahou Two Years On
- Keith Johnson
- PENGUINS GIVEN THE BIRDBack on March 1, 2010 I ran a story with the title ‘Te Kopahou (Red Rocks) Reserve - Experts take on Penguins’ about the battle that was then raging in the Environment Court here in Wellington about an application by the Wellington City Council to rezone for residential use some land at the entrance to the Nature Reserve.

Te Papa versus the city council
- Wellington Scoop
- While almost everyone else is encouraging the Wellington City Council to cut its spending in order to control the rates, one national organisation is campaigning in the opposite direction. Te Papa is annoyed by the council’s decision to reduce its annual grant from $2.25m to $1m. It has responded by launching a campaign which threatens that Wellington “could miss out” if the grant is reduced.

Up, up and away – the city’s annual rates increase
- Wellington Scoop
- Wellington City Councillors are having difficulty making the savings that they’ve been told are necessary. Mayor Wade-Brown announced last week that they have been unable to resist their annual rates increase. They’re proposing an average increase of 4.1 per cent. But this is not what she had earlier announced. Only three weeks before, she’d said that councillors had agreed to cap the rates increase at 3.8 per cent.
