Wellington Regional TRAILS FOR THE FUTURE A strategic framework for trails in the Wellington Region ii Wellington Regional Trails for the Future Executive Summary Introduction The Wellington region sits on the southern end of New Zealand’s North Island and contains some outstanding trail-based experiences and the potential to significantly grow the use of outdoor trails. Many other destinations internationally are growing their trail-based tourism infrastructure, marketing, and cooperative efforts to capitalise on their region’s strengths in order to offer world class experiences. The Wellington region has the potential to be such a destination, adding to its already very successful positioning as a capital city with a great cultural scene based on Te Papa and other assets and events, and a thriving food, wine and craft beer scene.

  • WCC 10-Year Plan, May 2018
    May 14, 2018 Wellington City Council P O Box 2199 Wellington 4140 ([email protected]) Submission on the 10-Year Term Plan 2018 ___________________________________________________________________ This submission is made on behalf of an organisation, Mt Victoria Historical Society Inc. It is an incorporated society with the aims of researching and sharing the history of the suburb of Mt Victoria and promoting interest in, and preservation of, its unique heritage. Contact details: Joanna Newman, Convenor [details removed] This submission addresses only issues in the 10-Year Term Plan which can be considered the mandate of Mt Victoria Historical Society. We would like to speak to our submission. ______________________________________________________________________________ Priority area: Resilience and environment It is good that a priority area is “Resilience and the environment”. In principle we support Option 1 but are concerned that it does not include anything relating to climate change. This is despite the fact that the introduction to the plan (Our challenges as a city, pg 7) talks about the fact that the “climate is also changing”. The plan is focused on dealing with this change as a fact, rather than acknowledging some responsibility for it and initiating strategies to mitigate it. Built Heritage Incentive Fund We are concerned to see that only $450,000 per annum has been allocated to the BHIF and $1 million to support repair of unreinforced masonry to improve the city’s resilience. This is not enough to encourage preservation of the unique built heritage that contributes to Wellington’s sense of place, historic areas of human scale and character. 1 Addition of land to the Wellington Town Belt We strongly support the addition of land to the Town Belt where possible.

  • Green Space in Wellington's Central City
    Green Space in Wellington’s Central City: Current provision, and design for future wellbeing Report for Wellington City Council October 2019 Authors: Paul Blaschke, Ralph Chapman, Elaine Gyde, Philippa Howden-Chapman, Jenny Ombler, Maibritt Pedersen Zari, Meredith Perry, Ed Randal. Key points summary • Green space is needed in central city areas to provide health and wellbeing benefits for current and future residents, commuters and visitors, and increased amenity, liveability and economic benefits. Green spaces also provide ecosystem and resilience benefits that will help mitigate and adapt the city to climate change and other environmental shocks. • We report here on a detailed study of the provision of public green space in central Wellington City in relation to current and projected future population levels. • The study focused on the three Census Area Units (CAU) of central Wellington City. These CAUs contain a total of 41.19 ha of public green space. More than half of the central city’s public green space is located not in City parks and gardens but in road reserves or in other non-council areas, and some is of relatively low quality and poorly accessible. • The amount of green space per capita in each CAU is highest at 41m2 in Thorndon-Tinakori Road CAU, 23m2 in Lambton CAU, and lowest at 6m2 in Willis St-Cambridge Terrace CAU. There is a very significant lack of greenspace within 300m of the population-weighted centre of the Willis St– Cambridge Terrace CAU. • Green space amount per capita in central Wellington City declines substantially - by half on average - when projected population growth to 2043 for the three CAUs is considered.
