A leaked report purports to show that the proposed Puketiro wind farm would be visible from all across the Wellington region, and a spokesperson for a group called "Preserve Pauatahanui" said that "the leaked information shows that all Wellingtonians should be concerned".Does this mean that the wind farm will be a dominating presence across the region? Hardly. windfarm issues blogs Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/11/visible-and-risible.html WellUrban 2007-11-26T00:00:00Z http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/09/all-at-sea.html I'm disappointed by the outcome of the Environment Court decision that rejected the Marine Education Centre at Te Raekaihau Point. I've never been a hard-core supporter of the project, but I was convinced that for the particular vision the proponents had in mind, there was no better site. marineeducationcentre sanctuary issues conservation blogs Tue, 25 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/09/all-at-sea.html WellUrban 2007-09-25T00:00:00Z -41.2917079 174.7521904 Zealandia, Lake Road, Highbury, Wellington, Wellington Region, 6011, New Zealand http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/08/good-sports.html There's a Waterfront Development Subcommittee meeting on tomorrow night, and for once, I'm not going to put myself through all that pain. While there's no single development up for specific debate, this time, feedback is due on the entire draft Waterfront Development Plan, so all the interested parties are having their say.Of the 633 written submissions, 604 were about the future of indoor sport given the changes to Sheds 1 and 6; and in particular, most of these called for the ground floor of Site 10 to become the new indoors sports venue, along the lines of what I've also been suggesting. indoorsportscentre waterfront issues places blogs Tue, 21 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/08/good-sports.html WellUrban 2007-08-21T00:00:00Z -41.3173189425195 174.80162238644002 ASB Sports Centre, Kemp Street, Kilbirnie, Wellington, Wellington Region, 6022, New Zealand http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/08/sporting-site.html Submissions on the Draft Waterfront Development Plan close on Friday, and while my opinion on most of it is just "get on with it", there's one area where I'll be promoting a specific change. While the ground floors of Sites 8, 9 and 10 have been designated simply as "retail", I think that Site 10 should be explicitly set aside as an indoor sports facility to replace Sheds 1 and 6. indoorsportscentre waterfront issues places blogs Wed, 08 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/08/sporting-site.html WellUrban 2007-08-08T00:00:00Z -41.3173189425195 174.80162238644002 ASB Sports Centre, Kemp Street, Kilbirnie, Wellington, Wellington Region, 6022, New Zealand http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/07/musical-stadia.html I've pretty much given up trying to follow the convoluted saga of the Indoor Sports Centre. indoorsportscentre sport issues blogs Thu, 05 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/07/musical-stadia.html WellUrban 2007-07-05T00:00:00Z -41.3173189425195 174.80162238644002 ASB Sports Centre, Kemp Street, Kilbirnie, Wellington, Wellington Region, 6022, New Zealand http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2006/12/waterfront-update.html must be a sucker for punishment, since on Monday night I attended the latest Waterfront Development Subcommittee meeting. hilton waterfront issues places blogs Tue, 12 Dec 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2006/12/waterfront-update.html WellUrban 2006-12-12T00:00:00Z http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2006/10/world-on-our-doorstep.html Just imagine the reaction if a huge multistorey structure appeared at Queens Wharf, full of wealthy foreigners, and serviced by coaches that interfere with pedestrian movement.

So it's almost come full circle, as the site is adjacent to the location originally proposed! indoorsportscentre kilbirnie issues places blogs Wed, 16 Aug 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2006/08/bringing-it-back.html WellUrban 2006-08-16T00:00:00Z -41.3166456 174.7980932 Kilbirnie, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand/Aotearoa http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2006/03/ban-ban.html Central Wellington currently has a liquor ban in place on Friday and Saturday nights, prohibiting drinking in public spaces.
