"A waterfront with plenty of open spaces and panoramic views"
Waterfront Watch loves Wellington and especially our marvellous waterfront.
We are committed to preserving this resource for the people of Wellington and whilst we will support appropriate development that enhances public spaces and usage, we will question any excessive development that seeks to privatise and restrict public access, remove views and viewshafts, downgrades our heritage or introduces excess shading or wind issues.
