Surreal but genuinely lovely to welcome our new Mayor and Council at today’s inauguration. Handing over the chains to @andrewlittlenz.bsky.social felt like closing a very meaningful chapter, one I’ll always carry with me. I truly wish the team the best as they take the reins of our beautiful city.

Just before the new council starts its journey, one more mihi to @misswhanau.bsky.social for the commitment to leading Pōneke in a 5% reduction in carbon emissions last year. Just about half of this reduction is from on-road emissions due to changes the city has made. Ka Rawe! No mean feat!

The new Wellington City Council will include 5 Labour councillors and 4 Green councillors, plus Andrew Little, giving the two party "coalition" an increased governing majority - 10 out of 16 votes, compared to 8 under the previous council.

A viable cycling network is a vital safety-net for people and the economy. Is the cheapest transport network to install and maintain. A measure of a city’s competence and civility.

Chopping the organics collection is the project most of Welly’s aspiring mayors have on their to do list. Shock is odd considering they all want to provide value for money services. @maxrashbrooke.bsky.social explains why it’s good for planet and wallets.

Wellington’s new waste plan is a step toward a greener city
OPINION: Half a century on, my grandmother would have been dismayed to see waste piling ever-higher – but heartened by the signs that, at long last, those piles might soon start shrinking.
