The mystery of $75m for the airport
- Wellington Scoop
- Wellington City Councillor Tamatha Paul was successful in leading the charge to remove $75 million for the Airport which had been in the council’s long term plan. For this, she and her colleagues have been lambasted by some – such as a letter to the Dominion Post by Nick Leggett a few days ago. But neither he nor the media appear to understand what this is all about.

$90million, but only if …..
- Wellington Scoop
- When city councillors this week reconfirmed their decision that the city should pay $90million towards the unknown cost of extending the airport runway into Cook Strait, some pre-conditions had been added. The key one: that an international airline should have committed to using the runway, before the council hands over the money.

- Wellington Scoop
- The news that Wellington Airport wants $200million of public money to pay for most of the cost of extending its runway seems to have relegated the proposal to the list of the city’s impossible dreams.

The runway extension, petrol tankers, and Evans Bay’s unique marine life
- Wellington Scoop
- Plans to extend the runway at the northern end of Wellington Airport involve a tunnel under the extension – with consequences that the City Council and the Regional Council have not yet taken into account. It’s against the law for fuel tankers to travel through tunnels, and there’s already a tunnel at the southern end of the runway.
