Consultations are now open, so have your say on Our City Tomorrow!
⭐ Let’s Get Wellington Moving – Mass Rapid Transit: Public transport that moves more people, more conveniently and comfortably.
⭐ Paneke Pōneke – Bike Network Plan: Our goal is to be a city where it’s easy for people of all ages and abilities to choose low or zero carbon transport options. Creating a connected bike network in tandem with big public transport improvements will make that possible.
⭐ Draft District Plan: The District Plan is the city’s planning rule book. It addresses key issues through new planning settings such as controls for quality housing, enabling development and protecting the city’s natural environment.

I can be a little wary in new situations and meeting new people, so would love an experienced and patient home. One that has the time to put in the extra training I need as I have not had much. I am very food motivated so will pick things up quickly. I can be very puppy like when comfortable around my people so require a home with older teenagers or an only adult home, one that is confident around larger than life personalities. The team here have mixed me with other dogs, so I could go to a home with an existing dog. One that is social and has a similar play style to me. A dog that is happy to share their space and their humans. I have yet to be cat tested. If you think I am the dog for you please contact the canine team for more information."
