The Long Term Plan is open for consultation and we want YOUR input.

We have two main topics we are consulting on. These are:

🚌Should Greater Wellington own the region's bus assets (depots and charging stations)?

Should Greater Wellington own 100% of CentrePort?

The region's buses are owned by private companies and operated on our behalf. We are proposing the ownership of buses, depots, and charging infrastructure to provide long-term security and future-proof facilities.

Currently we own 76.92% of the shares for CentrePort. We are proposing the purchase of the remaining 23.08% to establish 100% control of the shares. Full ownership means CentrePort will remain in public ownership and enable us to determine its future.

Do you agree or disagree with these proposals? Let us know your thoughts in the link below 👇

Many of you will have noticed a lot of "No Parking" yellow lines turn up along Walden St at the playground. Some of these we knew about - they were part of a council resolution - but the line that completely blocks off all parking adjacent to the playground was not what we expected.
We have been contacting the council A LOT over the last few weeks and have managed to achieve a "small" victory with a section of the yellow lines adjacent to the toilet/playground painted over - refer attached photo. However we certainly don't feel this matter is over yet and will seek further improvements for people wanting to visit the playground.
