Plans for the bay
Updated 05:50 Ok I have found the article I read the other day, follow the below link to read the Dominion post article. To me this makes me think, here we go again .... after what happened a few years ago. FIVE-STOREY buildings in Lyall Bay and apartment blocks in Johnsonville, Newtown and Kilbirnie are on the cards as Wellington City Council plans for population growth of about 20,000 people in 20 years. http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/local/4049021/City-plan-to-squeeze-in-mo... LYALL BAY residents are bristling at the suggestion of six- storey towers being erected along the waterfront. A zone of beachfront land from Maranui Surf Club to Kingsford Smith St, on Wellington's south coast, is one of 11 areas identified by Wellington City Council as suitable for intensive development to accommodate projected population growth of 44,000 by 2051 A few years ago, the above suggestion rose its head in the bay, we were able to stop it happening that time, I am trying to track down where I read it a few days ago but is the Wellington City Council looking to try this again ? Would you be happy with this kind of development in the bay ?, I mean things change when they tried it before it was a few years ago, have feelings changed ? My feels are I would hope not, as it is part of what is Wellington to have such a wild coast line, to have multi storey housing in the bay would just kill the feel of our home. What do you think ... ? If your on facebook, come on over to the page and lets talk it over or feel free to post your feelings in the comments here. http://www.facebook.com/pages/thebaynetnz/141761562504078?v=wall
