Most of them, it seems, have been killed off. “Brakes put on more than 370 Kāinga Ora housing developments nationally”. In Wellington the following projects are stopped: Arlington redevelopment and Evans Bay Parade, with other projects stopped in the Hutt, Naenae, Wainuiomata, and Porirua. The list says “paused.” But I know a dead duck when I see one. housing issues media Wed, 02 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=164268 Wellington Scoop 2024-10-02T00:00:00Z https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=158786 It may not be dressed in fluoro lycra, but sometimes the furore over Wellington’s District Plan feels like the 80s all over again. Those who lived through those tumultuous times may see the similarities. In the 1980s, the Muldoon government’s efforts to control the economy were becoming increasingly futile – and on to the stage stepped a new class of bright young things pushing for radical change. housing issues media Mon, 11 Mar 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=158786 Wellington Scoop 2024-03-11T00:00:00Z https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=147645 Shelly Bay is an important nesting site for Aotearoa’s endangered little blue penguin, the kororā. When the Wellington City Council granted resource consent for the Wellington Company’s huge luxury housing development on this site, it accepted the word of ‘experts’ Dr Roger Uys and Brent Tandy that ‘the adverse effects on little blue penguins/kororā will be avoided, and are likely to be less than minor’. As we now see, these views were demonstrably incorrect. penguins shelly-bay animals issues media Fri, 23 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=147645 Wellington Scoop 2022-09-23T00:00:00Z -41.2952851 174.8193465 Shelly Bay, Shelly Bay Road, Maupuia, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=142373 townbelt issues media Mon, 07 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=142373 Wellington Scoop 2022-02-07T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=137666 The Wellington City Council wants to turn our Town Belt into an amusement park so that the city can be “revitalised.” If the council is successful, there will be nothing stopping a music festival, a beer festival, and a host of “vibrant” activities attacking our city’s most precious natural environment, in pursuit of the mighty dollar. townbelt issues media Thu, 15 Jul 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=137666 Wellington Scoop 2021-07-15T00:00:00Z https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=137666 townbelt issues media Thu, 15 Jul 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=137666 Wellington Scoop 2021-07-15T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=136763 The Wellington City Council made a peculiar decision last week, unanimously. In one resolution there was a good decision, and then a bad decision undermining the good decision. The good decision was that the Council supported advocacy to the Government for financial assistance for those most in need of rental relief through an income related rental subsidy (IRRS), available to state housing tenants, but denied to Council tenants. The bad decision was that it resolved to begin a process of getting rid of its exemplary award-winning Council housing and to start a distracting and entangled process of slowly but sur housing wcc issues government media Tue, 08 Jun 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=136763 Wellington Scoop 2021-06-08T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=133945 shelly-bay issues media Wed, 27 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=133945 Wellington Scoop 2021-01-27T00:00:00Z -41.2952851 174.8193465 Shelly Bay, Shelly Bay Road, Maupuia, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=132488 shelly-bay issues media Fri, 13 Nov 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=132488 Wellington Scoop 2020-11-13T00:00:00Z -41.2952851 174.8193465 Shelly Bay, Shelly Bay Road, Maupuia, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=129441 housing issues media Thu, 09 Jul 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=129441 Wellington Scoop 2020-07-09T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=128527 noise issues media Tue, 02 Jun 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=128527 Wellington Scoop 2020-06-02T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=127944 covid-19 housing health issues media Sat, 09 May 2020 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=127944 Wellington Scoop 2020-05-09T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=124527 shelly-bay issues media Thu, 12 Dec 2019 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=124527 Wellington Scoop 2019-12-12T00:00:00Z -41.2952851 174.8193465 Shelly Bay, Shelly Bay Road, Maupuia, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=118380 shelly-bay issues media Sat, 04 May 2019 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=118380 Wellington Scoop 2019-05-04T00:00:00Z -41.2952851 174.8193465 Shelly Bay, Shelly Bay Road, Maupuia, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=82096 townbelt issues media Mon, 28 Sep 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=82096 Wellington Scoop 2015-09-28T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=81988 townbelt issues media Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=81988 Wellington Scoop 2015-09-24T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=71497 townbelt issues media Wed, 01 Oct 2014 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=71497 Wellington Scoop 2014-10-01T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=71331 townbelt issues media Sun, 28 Sep 2014 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=71331 Wellington Scoop 2014-09-28T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=67026 townbelt issues media Wed, 07 May 2014 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=67026 Wellington Scoop 2014-05-07T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=66120 townbelt issues media Thu, 03 Apr 2014 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=66120 Wellington Scoop 2014-04-03T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=66096 townbelt issues media Wed, 02 Apr 2014 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=66096 Wellington Scoop 2014-04-02T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=55818 townbelt issues media Thu, 30 May 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=55818 Wellington Scoop 2013-05-30T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=50206 townbelt issues media Tue, 20 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=50206 Wellington Scoop 2012-11-20T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=44162 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. museumsandgalleries wcc te-papa-funding te-papa art government issues media Sun, 15 Apr 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=44162 Wellington Scoop 2012-04-15T00:00:00Z -41.2903326 174.78192750276241 Te Papa, 55, Cable Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=41738 blanket-man housing people blogs issues media Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=41738 Wellington Scoop 2012-01-16T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=41060 crime issues media Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=41060 Wellington Scoop 2011-12-12T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=37816 indoorsportscentre issues media Fri, 26 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=37816 Wellington Scoop 2011-08-26T00:00:00Z -41.3173189425195 174.80162238644002 ASB Sports Centre, Kemp Street, Kilbirnie, Wellington, Wellington Region, 6022, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=35787 Till last year he was the Wellington City Council’s respected chief advisor on urban planning.

After an amendment to the city-wide alcohol ban was proposed by Cr Wain – to limit its extension to two suburbs where there was public support for it – the mayor instructed the councilors that, by living in the city voted 12th in the world in quality of life, they should “have the guts” to vote for the city-wide ban which she favoured. liquorban wcc issues government media Sat, 26 Jun 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25746 Wellington Scoop 2010-06-26T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=24839 wcnfunding issues media Wed, 05 May 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=24839 Wellington Scoop 2010-05-05T00:00:00Z
