Queen Elizabeth Park set for an upgrade
Greater Wellington wants to know what residents think about the future of Queen Elizabeth Park.
More barbecues, picnic facilities, food trucks, shelters, bird hides, new trails, and better facilities for horses are all proposals aimed to increase the number of people using the park.
The new facilities are being proposed by Greater Wellington in its draft Toitū Te Whenua Parks Network Plan 2020-30, the blueprint for the development of regional parks over the next decade.
Among the many proposals on which Greater Wellington is seeking comment are:
* Improvements to the Paekākāriki picnic area, including BBQs and shelters, nature play and Camp Paekākāriki storytelling.
* Explore options for co-location and improvement of equestrian facilities for all groups to boost the park as a casual riding and equestrian sports destination.
* Improve equestrian facilities for all groups to boost the park as a casual riding and equestrian sports destination.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
