The Wellington City Council wants a more livable city, but many can’t afford to live and work in it, while others think proposed changes will remove what makes it so liveable in the first place.
The Wellington City Council has a Draft Spatial Plan that could radically change the city.
That includes more medium to high-density buildings in the CBD, particularly focused around prominent transport routes and hubs.
Many large character homes could be bulldozed to allow for high density apartments and multi-storey buildings.
