The Mt Vic tunnel, a long road to nowhere

Reporter Community News

Politicians have been been talking about a second Mt Victoria tunnel since the 1950s.

Politicians have been been talking about a second Mt Victoria tunnel since the 1950s.
A second tunnel is a key component in Lets Gets Wellington Moving, although progress on that is at a snail's pace.
This week the Green Party came up with a new idea - two new additional tunnels. The Greens would not block the proposed car tunnel but would like to see two more built.
One would be a dedicated walking and cycling tunnel parallel to the existing Mt Victoria car tunnel, the second would be a light rail tunnel in Newtown, near Wellington Zoo.

Free MotionCraft R100 Premier Rowing Machine & NordicTrack Exercycle.


In very good and in proper working condition - nothing wrong with any of the two machines, as far as I can tell.


Rowing Machine Measurements:
Picture - 1 Fully Extended - Base Length = 2400mm
Picture - 2 When Folded - Base Length = 1300mm & Height = 1700mm


NordicTrack Exercycle Measurements:
Base Length = 950mm & Height = 1400mm


If anyone is interested then a van will be required to transport the machines!
Also, the machines are heavy and understandably I don't want the walls to be damaged so at least two strong people will be required to transport them from the Basement/Ground Floor to the 2nd Floor.

We are getting a new couch so hoping someone has a use for our current one to avoid taking it to landfill.

The couch has been both a family couch and a flat couch and as a result the foam is has shifted a bit in some places and it also has a few marks.

This is a nice big squishy couch and great for naps! Each piece is separate (5 pieces in total) so you can set it up to fit whatever space you have. There are two corner pieces, 2 straight pieces, and an ottoman.

Some well-placed cushions and blankets would help fill in the gaps to ensure it is comfortable.

The couch would need to be picked up sometime in the next couple of weeks. We are home most days so it doesn't even have to be on a weekend!

I will probably also list elsewhere - for free :)

The National Policy Statement on Urban Development released by the Government allows building heights of at least 6 storeys within walkable catchments of the city centre and metropolitan.

The Wellington City Council has proposed that in our most central suburb, Te Aro, we have a “minimum building height of at least 6 storeys” and a “maximum permitted building height to at least 10 storeys.”

In Wellington a lack of available land for development is driving the change towards higher buildings. That could eventually see Te Aro transform from an original working class suburb to a suburb of tower blocks. What do you think?

Labour is planning to build regional state service hubs in areas like Lower Hutt and Kāpiti .

State Services Minister Chris Hipkins says hubs outside main centres such as Wellington and Auckland cities would take pressure off existing offices.

Wellington’s public sector employs about 27,000, while there are about 37,000 in the private sector. A Cabinet paper tabled last year revealed the State Services Commission wanted to “reduce the footprint” of government workers in the Wellington and Auckland regions, and move agencies elsewhere when possible.

What do you think of moving state servants out of Wellington City?

We thought this was amazing. What a great way to teach your children the value of saving and getting them to add up the money is a fun way to do some maths. You could try using different bottles and different coins here in NZ.
