Wellington Scoop and Frank Kitts Park

Making a mess of a waterfront park
- Wellington Scoop
- We are appalled by what is proposed for Frank Kitts Park – sliced, diced, cut up by the City Council, and no longer a park but a building site. On Monday night a group of us – Civic Trust Board members – were invited to a presentation by Council Officers. They told us they were just doing what the Council had asked them to do: to progress a new building on Frank Kitts Park, but first to survey ‘the public’ over four weeks only, starting this Friday, by asking us whether we want a fale malae on Frank Kitts Park.

No plans, but they love it anyway
- Wellington Scoop
- There was a night of magical thinking last Thursday when Wellington City Councillors debated the proposal to support a new building on the open green waterfront lawn of Frank Kitts Park. It was led by mayor Andy Foster, who said the fale maele proposal was “a magical concept, with the potential to be a great meeting place.” But it’s impossible to understand how he knows this, because there are no plans – not even a concept drawing – for anyone to see. Nothing. Perhaps Andy was looking into a crystal ball.

The lawn is not for building

- Open letter from Helene Ritchie to Wellington mayor and councillors I am writing in anticipation of your debate tomorrow about Frank Kitts Park, because there is significant public concern about the loss of green open public space on our waterfront. I want to alert you to a serious omission that your officers appear to have made.
