Shelly Bay developer to rehouse little blue penguins
The developer of a controversial Wellington housing development at Shelly Bay has agreed to rehouse the area’s smallest residents before starting work.
The coastline is home to kororā/little blue penguins, whose burrows and nesting sites are in danger of being disrupted or destroyed by the housing project.
The proposed $500 million development will sit on the western edge of Miramar peninsula, undertaken as a collaboration by developer The Wellington Company and the Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust.
The condition is enshrined in the key commercial terms for sale, agreed upon by both parties: “The developer will be responsible for rehousing the little blue penguins that are located on council land at Shelly Bay.”
