Mau Whenua Movement - Save Shelly Bay
WCC, the developer (TWC) & unfortunately individuals in the Settlement Trust (PNBST) are forcing our people into a dangerous situation in the middle of a pandemic.
We have done everything we can to avoid a red alert situation at our noho whenua at Marukaikuru/Shelly Bay however our attempts to kōrero/negotiate and address safety concerns are being rejected. While we understand we have no choice or control over the actions of these parties or the implications, we ask that if you come to tautoko at Marukaikuru you adhere to the Covid Delta Level 2 safety measures and our peaceful tikanga at all times.
We are still hopeful that the WCC, PNBST and NZ Police will act reasonably and allow for a peaceful & just resolution.
Kia Kaha tātau, this is not a new whawhai, kia ū ki te kaupapa - KIA MAU KI TE WHENUA!

Shelly Bay Road to Tauhinu Road | Miramar Town Centre - WCC Transport Projects We're making changes on Miramar Avenue between Shelly Bay Road and Tauhinu Road to make this busy stretch of road safer and easier for everyone.
Unfortunately as we understand it when
asked for an update on the shared path going around from Shelly Bay to Scorching Bay. The project, is canned.
Apparently, officers had decided to hold one consultation for the road to Shelly Bay and the new innovative street, but then, everything got held up by EMPI judicial review (they couldn't do the SB road consultation while the review was underway). Time passed and the window to get the consultation out lapsed, canning the project for the second time, effectively.😞
Teri O'Neill Eastern Ward Councillor is holding a meeting in the
meeting room at Miramar library this Thursday 17th for a ‘councillor clinic’ from 3pm at the which people might wish to pop in and talk about shelly bay then –Teri has advised she won’t have any new information for anybody the aim is to remain accessible.

WCC NEWS RELEASE
16 May 2020
A 3km shared path between Shelly Bay and Scorching Bay, more space on Stout Street for people walking from the Railway Station, and a bike lane up the Brooklyn hill are among temporary Wellington street changes now open for feedback.
Deputy Mayor Sarah Free says Wellington City Council is proposing to make a number of changes to make it easier for people to move around the city on foot and by bike while the Covid-19-related safe distancing restrictions are in place, and to help manage public transport demand.
“We’re delighted that Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has this week approved funding for the first of our proposed Covid-19 response projects, and will meet 90 percent of the costs.”
People can now comment on the following projects:
· a footpath extension in Stout Street (east/MBIE side) from Bunny Street to Lambton Quay to provide more space for people heading to and from the Railway Station
· a 1.2km uphill bike lane on Brooklyn Road between Willis Street and Ohiro Road
· a 3km shared path on the Miramar Peninsula between Shelly Bay and Scorching Bay (one-way only for traffic (Shelly Bay to Scorching Bay) with the lane next to the sea for use by people on foot and bikes)
· bike lanes on both sides of Onepu Road between Leonie Gill Pathway and Rongotai Road
· a 1.6km two-way bike lane on the seaward side of Evans Bay Parade between Greta Point and Cobham Drive.
All will involve repurposing traffic lanes or parking spaces to provide more space for walking and biking.
Feedback can be provided until 5pm on Thursday 28 May in the Have your say section of the Council website https://wellington.govt.nz/have-your-say/public-inputs/consultations/open/covid-19-response-projects---proposed-traffic-resolutions
where more information about the planned changes is available.
The Council plans to make a decision on these five changes on Thursday 11 June and, if approved, work on the streets will begin about mid-June. The changes would be made over a few weeks, with some in place ahead of others.
It is envisaged most of the footpath extensions and pop-up bike lanes would be removed when social distancing restrictions are eased, but having them in place for a short while would help in the development of future more permanent changes.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has also made funding available for temporary Covid-19-related changes to Featherston Street and Victoria Street, pending some further planning work. The Council is working with Waka Kotahi on the next steps for planning these changes. As soon as more detail is available, there will be an opportunity to comment and help shape these proposals.
The Council has also applied for funding for some other pilot projects. The funding applications for these ones were made under a different category and will be assessed by Waka Kotahi in terms of how well they meet the criteria of the Innovating Streets for People pilot fund.
· temporary changes to make the intersection of Abel Smith and Cuba streets safer and easier for pedestrians
· central city pop-up park and public spaces
· central city temporary parking spaces for e-scooters
· a trial bike route via Wilson Street in Newtown.
All the projects, estimated to collectively cost about $2 million, have been selected due to their benefits and ability to be delivered, from a longer list that included suggestions from the community, Councillors, Council staff, Greater Wellington, interest groups and the public.
All were assessed against a range of criteria including whether they can aid social distancing, encourage walking or biking, are worth trialling, and how well they align with the city’s long-term goals.
The Innovating Streets programme uses tactical urbanism to move towards the Government’s longer-term objectives to create safer, healthier and more vibrant towns and cities.

On my walk around the Coast this morning it was amazing to see so many cyclists, walkers and runners enjoying a family day.

Watts Peninsula is a Wellington landmark and packed with history – from early iwi and hāpu settlements to military heritage and the Massey Memorial.
Most of the land in is owned by the government and the old air force base at Shelly Bay is partly owned by The Wellington Company and the other part by the Ratepayers of Wellington (WCC)
• An agreement signed in 2014 between the Crown, Port Nicholson Block Settlement Trust and Wellington City Council protects the heritage and guides any development of Watts Peninsula for future generations. This could include a national heritage destination where culture, history and the environment can be enjoyed by everyone.
• We think a shared path around this coast could be great for Wellington.
• The coast includes nesting and breeding areas for little blue penguins and white-fronted terns, as well as rare plant species.
• The harbour-side lane of Massey Road will become a safe area where people can enjoy a walk or leisurely bike ride along the coast.
• The 3km road from Shelly Bay to Scorching Bay will be one-lane and one-way only for motorised traffic.
• Car drivers will be able to cross the shared path at various points to reach swimming, fishing, diving and boating spots, as well as parking for Massey Memorial and Point Halswell.
