Don’t sing in the railway station – it’s banned because of the Rugby World Cup
- Wellington Scoop
- Be warned. The ultra-strict Rugby World Cup rules take effect in Wellington this weekend. One of the most surprising bans – and one of the meanest – is a restriction on where buskers can perform. The city council always requires them to get a licence. (It’s free, after you’ve filled in a form and studied the guidelines.) But for the Rugby World Cup, with or without a licence, no busking will be allowed within 500 metres of the Westpac Regional Stadium.

Artificial turf – a value-for-money plan for the new council to complete
- Wellington Scoop
- With the election all over bar the results, I hope that the new Wellington City Council, whoever is elected, will maintain its commitment to completing the artificial turf programme over the next term. Fourteen thousand Wellington football, rugby and league players, plus parents and supporters, all deserve and should expect that.

Wharewaka, wharerugby, whareparty
- Wellington Scoop
- Wellington’s new $11million wharewaka on Taranaki Wharf was supposed to be “a permanent expression of Maori art and culture.” But for six weeks next year it’s to be downgraded to become a place for parties and the sale of souvenirs.
