Festival looks to future
- Wellington Scoop
- Judging by the two bikes outside (one mine), the Festival of the Future wasn’t for cyclists. Food was also scarce at the outset of the two-day first event at Takina, Wellington’s stylish new convention centre. But that was remedied on day two and there’s a lovely cafe on the ground floor of the impressive building.

No more please
- Wellington Scoop
- With the new $180m convention opening soon, it was startling to see that a city councillor says the city needs to have another new venue. Councillor Tamatha Paul (quoted at the end of a DomPost report about the loss of car parks) said she supported opening a medium-sized venue. “That’s going to fill the city, the hotels, the restaurants and the hearts of our city.” Which is of course the claim that was made to justify spending $180m on the convention centre.

What’s in a name?
- Wellington Scoop
- Last week’s announcement of Tākina as the new name for the new Conference Centre has brought a lively discussion about its relevance. It was also a reminder that renaming has become a habit in Wellington.
