Have your say on Our City Tomorrow!
We are now LIVE with three exciting plans, alongside Let's Get Wellington Moving, that will transform how we live, invigorate our city, and create attractive transport choices that help to reduce our carbon emissions.
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.

Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
Male singers
If you like singing and have a male voice then this might be a good choir for you to join. You don't need to audition to join the Wellington Male Voice Choir but the harder we all sing, the better it'll sound. Rehearsals are mostly in Tawa on Monday evenings.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
