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. busking rwc rugby sport media Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=38349 Wellington Scoop 2011-09-08T00:00:00Z Artificial turf – a value-for-money plan for the new council to complete http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=28386 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. artificial-turf sport media Sat, 09 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=28386 Wellington Scoop 2010-10-09T00:00:00Z Karori won’t give up on synthetic turf http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25299 karori artificial-turf places sport media Tue, 25 May 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25299 Wellington Scoop 2010-05-25T00:00:00Z -41.2844173 174.7444792 Karori, Wellington, New Zealand A $350,000 monument to rugby http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=22478 sculpture rugby art sport media Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=22478 Wellington Scoop 2010-03-17T00:00:00Z Wharewaka, wharerugby, whareparty http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=21818 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. waterfront rwc places rugby sport media Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=21818 Wellington Scoop 2010-03-05T00:00:00Z
