Why our streets need to change

Wellington is growing. If we all keep driving, congestion will grind our streets to a halt, and we won’t meet our climate goals. 

By making it easier to walk, bike, and take public transport, we can: 

  • Reduce congestion
  • Cut emissions
  • Improve health and wellbeing
  • Create more people-friendly spaceslike parks, trees, outdoor dining, and play areas .

Wellingtonians want a compact, high-quality city with real action on climate and transport. Our projects deliver on this vision, in line with Council’s strategic direction.

 

Working together

Change doesn’t happen alone. We’re working closely with Greater Wellington Regional Council and NZTA Waka Kotahi, but most importantly, we want to work with Wellingtonians and our local communities. 

Every project goes through robust public engagement and elected member approval - so the voices of our residents are heard and actively shape the city we’re building.
