Mayor of Wellington | Authorised by Andrew Little, info@andrewlittle.nz

The government has announced the Head Start programme for local government amalgamation is not going ahead. The government is responsible for a total waste of ratepayers' money, and it's totally unacceptable 🤯

💛🖤Language, like identity, sits in our heart. When our heart is strong, our language and identity is strong. Kia kaha tonu tātou ki te kōrero Māori, ao ana te pō, pō ana te ao, nui mai, iti mai, hapa mai, kounga mai, Tukunu te reo Māori kia rere.🖤💛

⚠️⚠️Today the Council released the report into Te Matapihi Central Library's activation website. Council didn't get this right, we didn't get value for money, but we will learn from this. (link to the report in comments)⚠️⚠️

안녕하세요 Annyeonghaseyo! This weekend I celebrated with H.E. Ambassador Byung-ha Chung to mark ten years since Wellington and Seoul formalised our relationship, before becoming sister cities in 2023. The sights, the sounds and especially the traditional tastes were incredible!

1/n - What happened at Moa Point is unacceptable. The bottom line is Wellingtonians deserve transparency, and to have assurance about the response and recovery. That's why I asked the central government to commission a suitably independent report, and I'm pleased the report has been released now.

🖤🖤In Tribute to Victor Anderlini, a great Wellingtonian who cared for our oceans, our ecology, our children and our communities. To his whānau and friends, my thoughts are with you. Thank you Victor 🖤🖤

📣Today with the government we've announced progress for the Arlington site that's been empty since 2020, progress for Wellington housing, and progress to support our most vulnerable Wellingtonians 🖤💛🖤💛

Wellington City Council is deeply saddened to acknowledge the passing of Councillor Tony Randle. He was widely known for his strong interest in transport and his detailed approach to public policy, diligence, care and a commitment to understanding the detail.
