Wellington’s unique identity and character are at risk.
Keep Wellington’s Character is a heritage based campaign that opposes sweeping building deregulation and the removal of protections in Wellington’s historic ‘character’ suburbs.
The Wellington City Council is paving the way for demolition in heritage suburbs with the largest building deregulation in decades.
The WCC proposes breaking up Wellington’s historic heritage suburbs (Mt Victoria, Thorndon, Aro Valley, The Terrace, Mt Cook, Newtown and Berhampore) and removing 70% of heritage protections from these areas.
Have your say in the future of Wellington
Join us in calling on the WCC to reverse the decision to lift heritage protections and to find a solution that does not sacrifice the city’s cultural identity and character.
