Things heating up at the Tip Shop
- Wellington City Council
- Over the past few years, Wellington City Council has been upgrading its heating across social housing, creating a surplus of heaters. Instead of ending up in the landfill, over 400 heaters have been diverted to the Tip Shop, where they are tested or fixed to be sold at an affordable cost so everyone can have access to warm and dry housing.

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.
