So we ended up doing a cycling trip to the Empire Cinema in Island Bay to see Encanto Reo Māori. Because the cycleway connection in Berhampore is only half built, we took a short-cut from our home in Berhampore to get to the Parade. The kids were very keen, as they always are, to get their “bikes on the road.” These streets from Adelaide Road in Berhampore to the Parade in Island Bay, Tapu te Ranga, are another group of city streets built above waterways. The Pae Kawakawa stream starts near Macalister Park and runs along these roads with feeder streams in Mornington and Southgate as well. cycle-lanes cycling islandbay transport sport places media Sat, 28 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=164088 Wellington Scoop 2024-09-28T00:00:00Z -41.3322495 174.7716525 Island Bay, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand/Aotearoa https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=163462 johnsonville places media Wed, 28 Aug 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=163462 Wellington Scoop 2024-08-28T00:00:00Z -41.2231644 174.80631374175982 Johnsonville Shopping Centre, Bill Cutting Place, Johnsonville East, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6037, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=160342 khandallah places media Wed, 08 May 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=160342 Wellington Scoop 2024-05-08T00:00:00Z -41.246742 174.7905885 Khandallah, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6035, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=159829 Sixteen years ago, the Wellington city council said it didn’t want to have a large empty building site in Mt Cook. 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 https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=159816 petone places media Mon, 22 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=159816 Wellington Scoop 2024-04-22T00:00:00Z -41.2249675 174.8790351 Petone, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=159718 civic-square places media Thu, 18 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=159718 Wellington Scoop 2024-04-18T00:00:00Z -41.2886381 174.7770472723911 Te Ngākau Civic Square, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=152224 newtown places media Mon, 15 May 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=152224 Wellington Scoop 2023-05-15T00:00:00Z -41.3110524 174.7780368 Newtown, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=151784 olive-trees mountvictoria places media Thu, 20 Apr 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=151784 Wellington Scoop 2023-04-20T00:00:00Z https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=150925 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. waterfront fale places frank-kitts-park media Wed, 08 Mar 2023 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=150925 Wellington Scoop 2023-03-08T00:00:00Z -41.287041349999996 174.77875599386792 Frank Kitts Park, Lambton, Wellington Central, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=149781 Ian Cassels’ Wellington Company and Taranaki Whānui need to throw a much clearer light on their development plans for the Miramar Peninsula/Te Motu Kairangi, as reported in a front-page DomPost article, beyond PR puffery.

Nearly 40 metres high, when the allowable height is is 27 metres, promoted as the home of Victoria University’s National Music Centre but predominantly an office building with what seems to be a significant loss of green open space. consultation vuw waterfront education places media Wed, 16 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=148856 Wellington Scoop 2022-11-16T00:00:00Z -41.2900659 174.77843094996916 Royal New Zealand Ballet, 115, Wakefield Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=147144 miramar places media Mon, 05 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=147144 Wellington Scoop 2022-09-05T00:00:00Z -41.3133541 174.8196538 Miramar, Wellington, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=147099 newtown places media Sat, 03 Sep 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=147099 Wellington Scoop 2022-09-03T00:00:00Z -41.3110524 174.7780368 Newtown, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=145394 were sold in 1889 in the Wellesley block.
