New Zealand's national paper, the Sunday Star-Times, is embarking on a project to find out what Kiwiana has evolved into and how it encapsulates the values of our diverse, innovative 21st century nation.

Join us as we explore what Kiwi culture looks like in neighbourhoods across the country. In the coming weeks, you'll notice a few posts about Kiwi innovations popping up across Neighbourly - we'd love for you engage and let us know what innovations and innovators you think need profiling!

Have you been affected by the latest bus problems? What do you think about the Council shared with the select committee yesterday?

A December 1 deadline has been given to fix major problems with Wellington's struggling new bus network. The eight-week deadline would make sure buses were on time and there was enough space on them. Read more here.

GWRC has also agreed to:
- Extend the route 18e service to a seven-day a week service including service between 6 – 8 PM, from Miramar North to Karori South, providing direct connections to Newtown, the Hospital, Massey University and Victoria University Kelburn Campus
- To reinstate the route 14 service to start from the Kilbirnie hub rather than Hataitai
- Investigate options, a timeframe and implications for route splitting the Route No 2 to provide direct off-peak services from Strathmore Park and Miramar North to the CBD
- Identify options and a timeframe for putting in place morning and evening peak hour services for Route 23 between Mornington/Vogeltown and the Golden Mile;
- Identify options for extending the No 23e (to service the Zoo off-peak)
- Investigate the potential to join the No 12/20/21 services; the No 20/21 services; and/or the No 14/12 services across the City
- Identify the process and timetable for identifying route and service options changes for Churton Park.
