Ongoing rain causing slips all over our city. Big thanks to our team at Wellington City Council, and contractors from Downer NZ and Fulton Hogan who were out in horrible weather overnight clearing slips and trees. Heroes!!
Huge slip has taken out the northern end of Wilton Park.
The fence has gone, and its back almost to the goalposts, and the ground looks very soft and unstable, with small bits of soil falling off as I watched.
Fairly close to at least one house.
Huge slip has taken the end of Wilton Park out, fence at the end of the football field is gone and it’s almost at the goal posts. Looks very soft and likely to lose more ground down into Otari Wilton Bush. Sutherland Cres a shockcrete wall has come down crushing cars.
Contractors out through a very wet night clearing slips - these ones on Chaytor and Birdwood Streets, Karori. Heroes - thank you! It’s been exceptionally wet but asking our Roading management to update on key risk areas of the city and ongoing work on retaining/netting.
Today helped open #NZGamingDevelopers conference @Te_Papa. Growing high value industry - expects to be $1B in exports within 5 years. Breakfast later with Connie Kennedy from #EpicGames LA Lab. So much potential in Film and Game Development.
Great to be at Alert Level One. Now we need people back in town working and supporting business and employment. Lots of great events on. ‘The land we love’ - 7 great local women artists on till Sunday 27th 10 - 6 each day at Thistle Hall -cnr Cuba and Karo. Very accessible art.
Great turnout for Civic Trust meeting on the Central library now. Keeping to 100 person limit!
Big thanks to Maurice Clark for organising/ hosting.
Planning for Growth on line forum - check out on Council website - you can view it now or at your leisure later. This is part of asking you about how and where we provide for needed housing. Do check it out, participate and have your say. – at Wellington City, New Zealand
Predator Free Wellington going strong! Enjoyed catching up with PFW community leaders from across our city this evening. Part of incredible community effort driving our environmental restoration journey.

In a year that has been full of challenges and triumphs it is time to acknowledge those people amongst us who have made a difference in our community.
The Absolutely Positively Wellingtonian Awards (APW's) are one of the ways the Council can acknowledge and celebrate those Wellingtonians who have made outstanding contributions to our city and our people.
Nominations for the APW awards are now open and will be until 20 July.
To nominate someone for an APW award, follow the link below or email [email protected] and help us celebrate the amazing people in our community!
