New parking racks for e-scooters will start being installed in busy areas around central Wellington from next week to provide spaces where scooters can be left safely out of the way of pedestrians.

Wellington City Council is installing the racks to accommodate the public share e-scooters at the 10 busiest places where people start or end their rides, although people who have their own e-scooters or push scooters can also use them.
The racks are known as Ruru racks as they resemble an owl’s face.
Councillor Tamatha Paul, Portfolio Lead for Climate Change, says the Ruru racks can also be converted to include e-charging for scooters and the Council may look at this and other e-bike charging options in the future.
The racks will provide free parking for up to 93 scooters at a range of locations.

Hi Neighbours – join us on Saturday 17 October as we continue our season with a delightful triple-header.

We kick off with Josef Suk’s generously melodic serenade, which contains a capriciously dance-like second movement. Music Director Marc Taddei will, as ever, conduct our players through the performance, which includes Prokofiev's brilliant first piano concerto.

The concerto is performed by internationally celebrated pianist and cherished Wellingtonian Jian Liu, before we round off the evening with Rachmaninoff's beautiful third and final symphony.

Tickets start from $40, and the concert will take place at 7:30pm at the Michael Fowler Centre.
