Keeping, not demolishing, the Civic Square buildings
- Wellington Scoop
- When I attended the recent Civic Trust seminar about the future of Te Ngākau Civic Square, the thing that surprised me the most was hearing the renowned architect Gordon Moller call for the retention and adaptive reuse of the Municipal Office Building (MOB) and Civic Administration Building (CAB) rather than have them demolished – as seems likely.

Ignoring two votes for a shared path
- Wellington Scoop
- Sometimes, out of the blue, a thought pops out of nowhere. Early in April, it occurred to me we hadn’t seen any progress on one of the Innovative Streets projects supported by the Wellington City Council – the one between Shelly Bay and Scorching Bay.

LGWM: doomed to failure?
- Wellington Scoop
- Like many of us, I’ve spent the better part of my career in Wellington working in and around the public sector. As the years and the experience accumulate, it gets easier to see the patterns of behaviour of agencies and organisations and politicians – their ways of operating, if you will. And one of those ways of operating means that Let’s Get Wellington Moving is likely doomed to failure.

LGWM’s anti-rail bias
- Wellington Scoop
- Let’s Get Wellington Moving has recently received a lot of criticism – apparently it’s spending $4million per month, enough to lay 100m of double track through town or purchase half a light rail vehicle (LRV). In my humble opinion, the criticism foisted on them is not scathing enough.
