150 bedrooms – recycling the flats
- Wellington Scoop
- The Architectural Centre has written to the Minister for Housing Chris Bishop giving reasons for the retention and refurbishment of the Gordon Wilson Memorial Apartments on the Terrace. It says: “We acknowledge this is a critical time in the building’s future with your pending decision on whether to retain its heritage listing. Your decision will impact its retention.” The letter gives these reasons why the building should be retained and re-used.

Harbour dredging: why dumping sites are in the wrong places
- Wellington Scoop
- CentrePort is planning to deepen two sections of the Wellington shipping channel to accommodate bigger ships. But it needs to shift its proposed sites for dumping waste from the dredging. The proposed dumping sites are in the wrong places, and would threaten fish resources in the harbour and on the south coast.

For sale: a home of the little blue penguins
- Wellington Scoop
- Consistency must count for something in Mayor Kerry Prendergast’s strategy, but it was conspicuous by its absence in a 24-hour period this week. On Tuesday, she honoured Forest & Bird and their project to save little blue penguins. One day later came her action to remove from city ownership and protection a piece of land that is a home for some of those same little penguins.

Another delay before we’re consulted about Basin Reserve roading options
- Wellington Scoop
- The Mount Victoria community has been expecting consultation about roading changes around the Basin Reserve since last October. But yesterday, consultation was postponed again. The delay means there’s more time for the Architectural Centre’s innovative cut-and-cover plan (above) to get some serious consideration.
