The council will be wasting the money. It’s planning to ask questions to which it already knows the answers. There’s no need for a review. waterfront wcc places government media Thu, 12 May 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=34654 Wellington Scoop 2011-05-12T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=32381 waterfront places media Tue, 01 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=32381 Wellington Scoop 2011-03-01T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=31840 waterfront places media Tue, 15 Feb 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=31840 Wellington Scoop 2011-02-15T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=30809 waterfront places media Fri, 07 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=30809 Wellington Scoop 2011-01-07T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/2010/08/communication-non-communication/ Fifteen days ago we reported that the Wellington City Council had breached its design brief for the waterfront. Because this was a serious allegation, I referred it to the council and invited a response. Perhaps, I thought, the council might admit it had made a mistake. But since then: silence. The lack of response seems to be a sort of guilty plea from the council, which is usually quick to speak out in its own defence. wcc waterfront government places media Tue, 17 Aug 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/2010/08/communication-non-communication/ Wellington Scoop 2010-08-17T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/2010/07/there-goes-the-view/ waterfront places media Thu, 29 Jul 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/2010/07/there-goes-the-view/ Wellington Scoop 2010-07-29T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25679 waterfront places media Tue, 22 Jun 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25679 Wellington Scoop 2010-06-22T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/2010/06/the-dubious-political-lobbying-by-the-councils-waterfront-company/ waterfront places media Tue, 22 Jun 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/2010/06/the-dubious-political-lobbying-by-the-councils-waterfront-company/ Wellington Scoop 2010-06-22T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=24725 The Wellington City Council’s waterfront company is keeping the pressure on councilors to pay for two expensive and controversial projects which haven’t yet been approved.

In November, the councilors instructed the company to explore how to reduce the estimated $400,000 cost of new public toilets on the waterfront at Kumutoto. waterfront wcc places government media Mon, 12 Apr 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=23573 Wellington Scoop 2010-04-12T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=23455 What do you do if you own a waterfront events centre which has been reviled as looking like a Soviet ablution block? What do you do when almost all the reviews criticise its acoustics and sightlines? The last thing you’d do would be to consider making it bigger. Yet this is exactly what the owners of the building are talking about – “expanding the capacity” as “a possibility.” waterfront places media Thu, 08 Apr 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=23455 Wellington Scoop 2010-04-08T00:00:00Z 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 http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=20784 I felt unreasonably smug at the weekend when I learnt that the Hilton Hotel on Princes Wharf in Auckland has had to close some of its best rooms because there are leaks in the walls. Would this have also been the fate of a Hilton Hotel in Wellington, had it been allowed to build on the outer-Tee of Queens Wharf? waterfront hilton places issues media Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=20784 Wellington Scoop 2010-02-16T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=7406#more-7406 It takes a judge to tell us that one of the city’s landmark buildings is to be demolished.
