NZ Art Show - Jervois Quay closure
Hi there,
Just to let you know that if you are planning on coming to the NZ Art Show this weekend, it is probably best to take the train. Here's info from the NZ Art Show website:
***UPDATE, just been informed Kapiti line will be replaced by buses this weekend too...never mind, car option might be best still for Kapiti, lol. ***
"Jervois Quay, in front of the TSB Arena, will be closed in both directions commencing Thursday June 3rd from 7pm until 6am Tuesday June 8th. Much needed storm water pipes are being installed.
The NZ Art Show is taking place in the TSB Arena over this Queens Birthday period. We apologise for the inconvenience but we know that the effort to visit the NZ Art Show will be worth it!
Southbound detours will be in place along Featherston Street, Hunter Street, Victoria Street and Willeston Street and northbound drivers will have a range of options along Lambton Quay, The Terrace and SH1.
The Wilson carpark underneath Queens Wharf will be available as normal – access will be via via Lady Elizabeth Lane, opposite Whitmore Street.
Traffic will be controlled and it will be clearly signposted. A separate temporary drop off and loading area will be available for picking up your purchases.
See the map below for the closure details and rest assured we will keep you updated at all times.
We thank you for your patience and encourage you to visit the NZ Art Show – so much creative NZ talent all under one roof – don’t let road works get in your way!
I can assure you that we will do everything we can to minimise the impact, the timing is not ideal and we are disappointed, but this work is important for the city and we remain positive."
Many thanks and hope to see you there!

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
