Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 06/04/2025Temp haiatus complete. Back soon, with something fun for Welly. 000
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 13/02/2025What if there was a new public high school in Karori? Possibly co-ed and bi-lingual. The closest public high schools are WGC, Eastside, High and Col. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 110
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 05/02/2025What if Wellington city changed its name to the original Te Reo place name? #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 020
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Imagine an indoor skinfield on Tawa hills. The only indoor ski field in NZ is in Auckland. Wellingtons one could provide another indoor activity, a wonter sports training centre and economic activity. It would even have the potential to be solar and wind powered. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 020
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 03/02/2025What if Wellington, New Zealand was a global model for Democracy. This city could become that model and show the world its possible. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Imagine if 'The Oaks' building was removed to create a large public square between Dixon St and Manners St. The Oaks is a really bad 80s building and needs replacing. We all love Arty Bees, but imagine a public space right there on Cuba St. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 03/02/2025What if Wellington was a city wide bird refuge. With the predator free programme we could become a citynsize sanctuary. #LovePoneke #ArohaWellington 110
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 03/02/2025What if State Highway 1 had a large sculpture marking the entrance to Wellington. In the past, there was a proposal for a giant hook sculpture, linking to the legend of Maui and Wellington harbor being the eye of the fish. #LovePoneke #ArohaWellington 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Imagine a new enhanced and future proofed Ferry Terminal at Kaiwharawhara. Allowing more larger boats to operate and connecting seamlessly to public transport. A new override would allow easy pedesteian connections. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Imagine a waterfront tram or Light Rail connecting the 2km from the Inter-Island Ferry terminal to the central train station. It could also stop for cruise ship passengers and the customs over bridge for stadium users. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 020
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Imagine if Courtenay Place was the premiere entertainment venue in New Zealand! The bones are there with a variety of facilities, good public transport connections, home to Royal NZ Ballet, NZ Symphony Orchestra and invested hospo entrepreneurs. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Imagine a new Ice Rink and indoor Ice Arena for Ice Hockey, Ice Skating and Curling. Wellington is missing this type of facility and the land next to Kilbrine pools seems ideal. Sharing heating/cooling plant with a pool reduces costs for both buildings. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Imagine local libraries had live music on friday nights. Providing another space to socialize in your local area, with more opportunities for musicians. #LovePoneke #ArohaWellington 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 23/01/2025What if SH1 was capped between boulcott St and the Terrace Tunnel? The space could be used for a new urban park, bringing the greenbelt into the city and creating another link from Kelburn to the city. #ArohaWellington ##LovePoneke 120
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Imagine if all Wellington Streets had fruit trees planted on them. Giving access to free food for everyone. #LovePoneke #ArohaWellington 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 21/01/2025What if the Beehive had actual beehives? Bees are important, even im urban environments and the Beehive seems like a logical place to have some. 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 21/01/2025What if the Station rd bridge was widened to create a wide pedestrian link from Porirua Station to town centre. Attractive space to spend time. Including buskers, small retail and park on bridge above stream #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Imagine a new train station at Churton Park. Probably underground and close to twiglands. Better connections for northern suburbs to Porirua and Wellington. Altenative track into town also provides redundancy. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Imagine a high quality Public Transport connection from Johnsonville - Porirua. An option could be to extend the J-ville line in a tunnel under churton park and back to the main line at Glenside. Giving the northern Wellibgton suburbs better transport north and south #ArohaWellington ##LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Imagine the Johnsonville Train line was double tracked enough to enable more frequent a regular schedule. A train every 15 min all day from Wellington station to Johnsonville, along NZs most scenic urban train route. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 020
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 20/01/2025The next 4 ideas are all linked. Although they can all be delivered individually, you will see that together, ideas 18-21 could be something special for the northern Wellibgton suburbs. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 000
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 20/01/2025In honour of Wellington Anniversary Day, what if we had an annual cheese Scone competition to settle all those arguments once and for all. #LovePoneke #ArohaWellington 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 16/01/2025What if Johnsonville Mall was redeveloped as a mixed use precinct, Apartment buildings, laneways style shopping mall, community facility and green space all adjacent a public transport interchange and library. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Imagine a gondola up Makara Peak, designed to carry people and Mountain Bikes. Adding to the world class mtb facilities and becoming a tourism generator. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 020
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Imagine if we had more stages in public parks and streets for buskers and impromptu performances #LovePoneke #ArohaWellington 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 13/01/2025What if all rooftops had a secondary positive purpose. Like gardens, solar panels or rain water harvesting. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 163
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Imagine Wellington as the world's first capital city completely powered by renewable energy. More Wind, Solar and Tidal power. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 051
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 11/01/2025What if we had a pedestrian focused map of Wellington, highlighting laneways and 'secret spots'? A way to promote the safe and accessible walking parts of Wellington. Also getting people to explore and enjoy our city. #LovePoneke #arohawellington 120
Reposted by Love PōnekeBen McNulty @ponekeben.bsky.social · 07/01/2025#6 Johnsonville Memorial Park, Johnsonville. Tired but with a good heart. Could be an amazing destination playground incorporating the entire site (courts + Wanaka St Parklet). Great swing selection, next to Waitohi = extra points. 3.5/5. 121
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Imagine a library kiosk at Wellington Station and Bus interchange where you could pick up books that had been reserved via your library app. Drop off here would be easy as well. #ArohaWellington ##LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Imagine if Midland Park on Lambton Quay was expanded in size by spreading onto some of the lanes and roads surrounding it. This is a wonderful city centre sanctuary on a sunny day and could be even bigger. #ArohaWellington ##LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Imagine a Yellow Brick Road, forming a path to connect the main entertainment venues in the Courtenay Place precinct of Wellington. Connecting Town Hall, Michael Fowler Centre, Opera House, St James Theatre, Readings and The Embassy. Helping to define the entertainment area. 110
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Walked down Lambton Qy today. Closed for the week to do road works. An amazing positive low stress experience to not have the energy of the traffic. Even with the road works, it is quieter than usual. I absolutely love it. Can this become a permanent or regular experience? #Wellington #LovePoneke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Imagine using the Reading Cinema space on Courtenay place and building an indoor music venue. Perhaps as big as 10,000 people and attracting large acts that currently don't come to Wellington. #ArohaWellington #Loveponeke 020
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Imagine if new businesses had low rent in vacant buildings. This could help encourage start-ups, keep buildings occupied and retain vibrancy in the city. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 010

Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 04/01/2025What if Massey Rd on Miramar peninsula was closed to vehicles and became a space focused on walking, running, and cycling? This road is already closed for a number of events and could become a destination leisure and exercise location. #ArohaWellington #LovePoneke 020

Full reviews on FB/IG, abridged in this thread. #1: Salford Street Play Area, Newlands. Excellent suburban playground, great range, fun times to be had. 4/5. 3224
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 03/01/2025What if the pedestrian tunnel under the runway in Rongotai was widened to enable public transport to use that route as a shortcut to the Airport? #loveponeke #ArohaWellington 041
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Imagine the large concrete forecourt in front of the stadium was used for more activities. How about an outdoor cinema? #ArohaWellington #loveponeke 010
Love Pōneke @loveponeke.bsky.social · 01/01/2025What if we established a permanent farmers market. Maybe on Lorne St, or next to Waitangi Park. #arohawellington #loveponeke 020
