Welcome to the Whātaitai National Heritage Park
The Whātaitai National Heritage Park proposal has been developed by a range of Wellington people: local Maori, Miramar residents, academics, and business owners.
It will transform Shelly Bay and the surrounding peninsula into the most exciting new public space in the capital city for decades. The vision includes a cultural centre, museums, a nature centre, forest and seaside walks, aquarium, and a sculpture park overlooking the harbour. An education and research hub with cafes and restaurants, all designed for this beautiful and long-neglected piece of land.
Shelly Bay, gateway to the park, is currently threatened by a 350-apartment high-density luxury housing estate, with plans being developed for several hundred more houses on Watts Peninsula, which would effectively push the public out of this area. The national heritage park is the alternative we’ve all been waiting for,
Join us! Step one is ensuring that Wellington City Council does not sell or lease the key public land at Shelly Bay to the property developer, allowing high-density housing in the midst of the future park.
