Calls to action

Have your say on Bunny Street

Feedback closes 5pm Monday 3rd August 2026

Wellington City Council are seeking feedback on changes to Bunny Street in front of the main train station. Bunny Street is a vital link between Thorndon Quay and the Waterfront. It is a major gap in the cycling network that needs fixing, especially with the success of Te Ara Tupua.

Have your say on Brooklyn Road

Feedback closes 5pm Monday 3rd August 2026

Wellington City Council are seeking feedback on changes to Brooklyn Road, and parts of Ohiro Road and Tanera Crescent. This project is overdue. Transitional interventions for Brooklyn Road in 2021 were the first time this approach was made before any of the other Paneke Pōneke routes were started.

Sign the Miramar Peninsula petition

Sign the petition to permanently transform the road around Miramar Peninsula into a people and nature safe haven for minimal financial cost.

The Miramar Bays roads are already popular with walkers and cyclists. The current closure of the road to car traffic for five months from Point Halswell to Scorching Bay to strengthen sea walls clearly shows motorists don't need to drive this road.

The amazing success of Te Ara Tupua clearly shows the appetite for more paths and access to our wonderful harbour where pedestrians and cyclists can walk and bike safely.

Cities around the world have embraced similar transformations. This proposal aligns with plans to establish Mātai Moana as a public reserve. It will be a finishing touch to the Great Harbour Way that allows a safe walking-cycling trail around the 70km of Wellington's great harbour.

Let's take a stand for a cleaner, safer, and more enjoyable city.

Public Talk: Imagine streets for people

5:30pm Friday 31 July 2026

Architecture and Design Innovation, Victoria University of Wellington, Vivian Street

"Why was John Lennon in Bed with a Bicycle in 1969?"

Come along to hear from Prof Marco te Brömmelstroet, Chair of Urban Mobility Futures, University of Amsterdam.

The words we use to describe how we move through cities don't just reflect reality; they shape it. They create it. The language of "traffic", "flow", and "congestion" shapes the streets we build, the policies we write, and the way we relate to each other in public space. If we want a genuinely different mobility system, we need to start by questioning the assumptions baked into how we talk about it, and imagining new ones.

Get in quick, tickets (free) are running out fast!
