  • Let's Get Wellington Moving
    Let’s Get Wellington Moving: Time To Re-focus © Copyright Karori Residents’ Association Author Bill Guest 2 March 2021 Introduction In 2001 the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) began considering how to connect the Wellington foothills motorway to the planned second tunnel through Mount Victoria. The new tunnel was to be located slightly north of the present tunnel, and parallel to it. 14 years later, after years of bickering and court cases, the proposed bridged highway on the north side of the Basin Reserve was defeated by the decision of the High Court not to overturn the decision of Commissioners to decline the resource consent required to proceed. While the Mayor of Wellington at the time, and several Councillors expressed pleasure at the decision, the only positive solutions suggested seemed to be “mass transit/light rail” and “cycleways” without a clear strategy or justification for either. In 2016 NZTA reached an agreement with Wellington City Council (WCC) and Greater Wellington City Council (GWRC) to form a joint planning group to devise and implement solutions to the growing congestion problems in Wellington City. The group became known as Let’s Get Wellington Moving (LGWM). Karori Residents Association is concerned about LGWM and believes that it is urgent that WCC asserts its position as the planning authority for the city and seeks a significant re-focus of the work of LGWM. Background When the Wellington foot-hills motorway was built in the late 1960s, the intention was to swing eastwards after passing through the new Terrace tunnel, and to cross over Aro Flat to meet the both the old (1931) and a new Mt Victoria tunnel.

  • The Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand: a Brief History
    The Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand: A Brief History Graham Redding 4 September 2012 A settler church Unlike the Anglican, Methodist and Roman Catholic churches, the Scottish Churches did not send missionaries to New Zealand. Presbyterianism arrived only after colonisation had begun, and then only as a church for settlers. As Peter Matheson says of the Presbyterian Church, “it was quite simply described by contemporaries as ‘the Scotch Kirk’, a transplantation of Scottish religion and culture, a ‘fragment’ from the other side of the world. It came by courtesy of the Industrial Revolution and the British Empire, and by the push-pull motivation of all emigrations.”1 The first minister, the Rev John McFarlane, was among a contingent of Scots who landed in Wellington on 20 February 1840, two weeks after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. He held his first service a few days later on the foreshore at Petone, but then had to wait four years before he had a church building. This was a simple wooden structure on Wellington’s Lambton Quay in which he held services in English, Gaelic and Māori . McFarlane’s concerns about the treatment of Māori found little support and, with his health deteriorating, he returned to Scotland in 1844. Part of the Free Church movement In 1843, 450 evangelical ministers (out of 1200 in total) broke away from the Church of Scotland and formed the Free Church of Scotland. They defied the patronage system by which landowners appointed ministers, and argued for the right of congregations to do the appointing.

  • Rotary Club of Wellington
    Rotary Club of Wellington Citation for the Admission of Kerry Prendergast into the Paul Harris Fellowship by the Rotary Club of Wellington at the President’s Dinner, 2 June 2011, President Colleen Singleton presiding Kerry Prendergast joined the Rotary Club of Tawa in 1992 and transferred to the Rotary Club of Wellington on 27 November 2000. She has been a member of the Community Services, Fellowship and Fundraising Committees. For 9 years of Kerry’s membership of our Club she was the Mayor of Wellington. We appreciated Kerry’s support of Club’s activities during that time, and in making this award we recognise Kerry’s contribution to the civic life of Wellington in particular and also New Zealand. Kerry served 21 years on the Wellington City Council, with 6 years as Deputy Mayor and 9 years as the 33rd Mayor of Wellington A Wellingtonian editorial stated that Kerry has been one of the four landmark mayors of Wellington over the past half-century. During her 9 years as mayor Kerry brought direction to the way the city was run. She worked very hard for the city and, in her role with Local Government New Zealand, for all New Zealanders. The Wellingtonian also stated that she didn’t always have it easy, because she had to deal with a “weird and sometimes wayward group of councillors”. During Kerry’s mayoralty, the capital cemented its place as the arts capital of New Zealand, brought the World of WearableArt from Nelson, turned the Wellington sevens into a rip-roaring success, began construction of the indoor sports stadium and enhanced the city’s reputation as the place for the rest of New Zealand to come for good coffee and exciting night life.

  • How the Decisions a City Makes Influences Public Health Justin
    Public Health and the City: How the decisions a city makes influences public health Justin Lester, mayor of Wellington City Council (WCC) spoke in June 2017 at the University of Otago School of Medicine, Wellington and Alison Pask shares highlights from his talk. When people think of the city council, health isn’t the first thing that springs to mind, but for those of us working in public health we are aware first-hand how local government decisions influence health outcomes. Justin Lester was elected as the mayor in 2016. He joined the council as a Northern Ward councillor in 2010 and then served as deputy mayor from 2013 until 2016. During his time as a councillor, Justin championed the living wage. Justin’s priorities for WCC include kick-starting the economy, making housing affordable, improving Wellington’s transport and prioritising arts funding. He feels strongly that good local government services make a huge difference in people’s lives. He stated, 'we have to be prepared to take a risk and act now and analyse later'. Role modelling is an important aspect of the Wellington City Council offices with a recycling policy in the council offices. A recent addition is a 'sugar free drinks policy' with sugary drinks planned to be removed from all council venues soon. All council swimming pools now offer free swimming for under 5's and their guardians at a cost of $55,000 to the council. Justin sees the goal of New Zealand’s capital city to be smoke free by 2025 as achievable with the council already having policies which encourage smoke free outdoor seating with an incentive of rate savings for businesses that provide smoke free outdoor dining.
