A year later it got what it didn’t want. And the large empty building site in Mt Cook has stayed empty for fifteen years. The prime site has been empty since the city council allowed the Boys Institute swimming pool to be demolished to make way for a supermarket. Only the street frontage remained. mountcook places media Tue, 23 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=159829 Wellington Scoop 2024-04-23T00:00:00Z -41.30146955 174.7776714 Boys' Institute & S.A.Rhodes Home For Boys, Tasman Street, Mount Cook, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=76088 One of the most extraordinary things about plans to bulldoze a road through the pristine Takapu Valley is the claim about how much time will be saved. They’re counting the savings in seconds. The claim is found in an Appendix to the controversial report in which the chief executives of regional councils tell their mayors that they ought to support a road through the valley. orientalbay tawa khandallah makara worserbay stokes-valley mountcook islandbay hataitai civic-square ngaio northland roseneath newtown thorndon huttvalley titahi-bay paraparaumu wadestown kapiti miramar porirua johnsonville wainuiomata lyallbay wilton begonia-house paremata eastbourne karori mountvictoria kelburn kilbirnie berhampore arovalley brooklyn wairarapa seatoun cubastreet waterfront newlands takapu-valley transport places media Sat, 07 Mar 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=76088 Wellington Scoop 2015-03-07T00:00:00Z -41.3246143 174.8320065 Seatoun http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=39581 I would like to attend the Wellington Regional Council meeting when they discuss the traffic around the Basin Reserve. But I cannot, because it’s being held during a business day. Such meetings should really be held at times when community representatives would be more likely to attend. Though I can’t get to the meeting, I want regional councillors to be aware of my opposition to raised-roading around the Basin Reserve. Neither of the two raised road options will do anything to enhance the Basin environment. basinreserve mountcook transport places media Mon, 24 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=39581 Wellington Scoop 2011-10-24T00:00:00Z -41.3005712 174.7721374 Mount Cook, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=22446 The weekend report that State Highway One will be moved into a covered trench under the new park in front of the National War Memorial seems to have pleased everyone.

The best solution, they say, is to trench and cover Buckle Street, so that the park can connect with the National War Memorial. mountcook transport places media Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=21055 Wellington Scoop 2010-02-19T00:00:00Z -41.3005712 174.7721374 Mount Cook, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6021, New Zealand
