  • Economic Development DRAFT TEXT 28/08/2008
    Annual Report 2007/08 Economic development DRAFT TEXT 28/08/2008 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OUR APPROACH Wellington has enjoyed steady economic growth in recent years. Unemployment is low, incomes are relatively high, and the city has retained a healthy government and financial sector while also making progress towards developing new high-tech and creative industries. Under the Wellington Regional Strategy, economic development agency Grow Wellington has principal responsibility for promoting economic development throughout the region. We support economic development generally through provision of many of the facilities and services that make this a great place for workers and their families to live and for businesses to locate. We also provide specific support for tourism through the marketing of Positively Wellington Tourism and the attraction of iconic events. CASE STUDY: HOMEGROWN Wellington’s waterfront rocked for the Homegrown Music Festival. Held over Anzac Weekend 2008, the Vodafone Homegrown Music Festival attracted a sold- out crowd of thousands. The festival featured 33 bands and DJs across five stages. Headline acts included a who’s who of New Zealand music: Shihad, Pluto, Kora, the Mint Chicks, Opshop, Elemeno-P, Salmonella Dub, The Black Seeds, The Phoenix Foundation, and more. All stages were either indoors or in massive marquees to ensure the event could go ahead rain or shine. Art installations, street performers and stalls for arts and crafts, food and clothing all complemented the on-stage entertainment. Festival venues, all on Wellington’s waterfront, included the TSB Arena and Shed 6, Frank Kitts Park and the Lagoon. Festival organisers encouraged use of sustainable transport to and from venues, as well as recycling of food and drink containers.

Tony, who passed away earlier this year, was once known as Thorndon’s Society’s ‘guerrilla planner’. He is remembered for leading the resto- ration of a worker’s cottage, known as ‘The Quoin’ at 297 Tinakori Road, in the mid-1980s, and for saving Premier House which had been under serious threat from devel- opment.

    Date: 14/06/2013 Wellington Town Hall 101 Wakefield Street Images: Charles Collins, 2015 1 Date: 14/06/2013 Summary of heritage significance • The Wellington Town Hall is arguably the greatest design by Joshua Charlesworth, one of the pre-eminent Wellington architects around the turn of the last century. The exterior has been modified as a response to both the 1931 Hawkes Bay and 1942 Wellington/Wairarapa earthquakes and the clock- tower, and much of the external ornament has been removed. The building is notable for its fine interiors, particularly the entrance, stairways and auditorium. The concert chamber has international recognition for its fine acoustic qualities – particularly for orchestral music. • The Town hall, with its concert hall, concert chamber and reception room, council chambers and municipal offices, have been a central to the governance and cultural life of Wellington for over 100 years. • The Wellington Town Hall is a landmark building that defines part of the southern boundary of Wellington’s Civic Square. The square is the pre- eminent public space in central Wellington, and is widely used by Wellingtonians and visitors alike District Plan: Map 17, reference 325 Legal Description: Lots 2-14 DP 10801 Sec 1 SO 35243 & SO 35628 Heritage Area: Civic Centre Heritage Area HPT Listed: Category One, reference 3275 NZAA Central City R27/270; Part Reclamation ‘K’ 1889 Archaeological Site: R27/456 Key physical dates: Built: 1902-04 Architect: Joshua Charlesworth.

  • Wellington Volunteers and the 1918 Flu Epidemic
    Wellington volunteers and the 1918 flu epidemic VOLUNTEER WELLINGTON | TE PUNA TAUTOKO Your Community Connector Wellington volunteers and the 1918 flu epidemic VOLUNTEER WELLINGTON | TE PUNA TAUTOKO Your Community Connector Contents Foreword 3 Introduction 4 Volunteers and volunteering 5 Why volunteers were needed 7 How the voluntary effort was organised in Wellington 7 What they did 12 Who volunteered 17 The aftermath 24 One hundred years later 26 Afterword 33 Creating theatrical narrative from historical events 34 … 2 … Foreword In 1918, New Zealand was hit by an influenza epidemic which is hard for us to imagine today. The epidemic claimed the lives of some 9000 New Zealanders – and it killed those in the prime of their lives, aged 25 to 45, rather than the very young and very old. In Wellington, more than 730 died. For 2 to 3 weeks at the height of the epidemic, ordinary life was impossible. Shops, offices, and factories could not be staffed, and the Government closed schools, hotels, and theatres. Shipping from port to port came to a halt and many towns suffered from a shortage of basic supplies, such as flour and coal. The mayor of the time, John Luke, was concerned about the increasing cases of illness. The Town Hall became an important centre for dispatching medicines, organising clothing and where the vehicles serving as ambulances left from. Even small quantities of spirits were given out for those with doctors’ notes. It was a time when the city needed to respond to the crisis and not for the first or last time during a disaster, volunteers came to the fore.
