Wellington

Introduction to Wellington

There are transition town groups in: Brooklyn, Hataitai, Johnsonville, Karori, Lower Hutt, Ngaio, Upper Hutt,

Wadestown, Wellington Central, Wellington South. There is a regional Wellington Transition Town steering

committee, but it mostly serves as a networking and sharing of experience hub, rather than attempting to

dictate actions or processes to local groups.

Background on Wellington Initiatives

We had our first Transition Towns of Wellington meeting in November 2007. We felt that because Wellington

is a reasonably large area, it makes sense to create Transition Initiatives by suburb or suburb groups initially.

However, we still need to network regularly as a whole to meet, share experiences and do some planning

towards Transition Town Wellington!

Since that first Wellington meeting, Transition Initiatives have been popping up all over Wellington - the

response has been amazing! So many capable people are stepping up to bring this movement to their local

communities. Change is in the air...

Hi all,

Sorry for the late notice, but the Wgtn South groups is going along to the opening night of the Reel Earth Film Festival (put on by Forest and Bird) at the Paramount at 6pm, Thursday 20 November. $20 (includes free wine!). Call Paramount to book on 04 3844080.

Everyone welcome! I guess we'll be milling round upstairs just before the screening (sorry that's pretty vague, just come say hello if you think we look like TT suspects), and we'll probably go for a drink/cheap kai afterwards. Come along!

If the Transition Towns Movement is to succeed it needs a 'behaviour setting' of legislation that allows the goals of the movement to be achieved without  breaking the law.

Background

New Zealand has two different types of legislation. Originally legislation was written in the "Prescriptive'" style.

Wellington meeting to debate population issues

9 Oct 2008 18:00

The world seems to be coming apart around us, with global warming followed by an unstable oil price and now threatened global economic collapse. Some of us have seen this whole mess coming long ago, and the only surprise is how we got it all so right. The unease and desire to do better is becoming widespread, as seen in the explosive growth of Transition Towns groups across the country, with several here in Wellington.
