It’s a notice about a resource consent application for a new building that will tower over the Michael Fowler Centre, the Town Hall, and neighbouring buildings. 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=143643 waterfront places media Tue, 05 Apr 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=143643 Wellington Scoop 2022-04-05T00:00:00Z https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=143607 waterfront places media Mon, 04 Apr 2022 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=143607 Wellington Scoop 2022-04-04T00:00:00Z https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=139387 There was a night of magical thinking last Thursday when Wellington City Councillors debated the proposal to support a new building on the open green waterfront lawn of Frank Kitts Park. It was led by mayor Andy Foster, who said the fale maele proposal was “a magical concept, with the potential to be a great meeting place.” But it’s impossible to understand how he knows this, because there are no plans – not even a concept drawing – for anyone to see. Nothing. Perhaps Andy was looking into a crystal ball. frank-kitts-park fale waterfront places media Mon, 27 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=139387 Wellington Scoop 2021-09-27T00:00:00Z -41.287041349999996 174.77875599386792 Frank Kitts Park, Lambton, Wellington Central, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=139287 Open letter from Helene Ritchie to Wellington mayor and councillors I am writing in anticipation of your debate tomorrow about Frank Kitts Park, because there is significant public concern about the loss of green open public space on our waterfront.

They’re counting the savings in seconds.

He wrote: On Wednesday, walking around the waterfront I was again impressed by its beautiful views. Wellington is very lucky to have a waterfront where one is constantly struck by the views of harbour, houses and hills on one side, and an attractive city on the other. Why the council prefers mediocre buildings to this natural beauty is a mystery. The latest example of what I call developers’ vandalism hits you right in the face as you approach Te Papa. The “conversion” of the Overseas Passenger Terminal will clearly be an over-sized monstrosity, obliterating much of Mt Victoria and its charming houses; it will tower over the marine like Darth Vader and destroy a lot of the character of that part of the waterfront. Might more councillors find some soul and save the waterfront from this landlord mentality before it’s too late?" waterfront orientalbay places media Sun, 02 Dec 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=50867 Wellington Scoop 2012-12-02T00:00:00Z -41.2894089176962 174.784593221208 Chaffers Marina, Waitangi Park Shared Path, Mt.
