Stop the Basin Reserve Flyover!

The NZ Transport Agency has recently announced its willingness to fund the ill-conceived flyover project.

The flyover would lift traffic above the Basin Reserve fenceline. The flyover will ruin its amenity, detract from its appeal as an international sporting cricket venue, and create even more car traffic in the area.

The NZ Transport Agency now estimates the cost of the Basin Reserve flyover has nearly doubled to more than $47 million since the project was announced in 2006.

Public consultation showing 79 per cent opposition to the flyover has been ignored by the New Zealand Transport Agency and the Greater Wellington Regional Council in giving approval for the structure.

This isn’t worth destroying the character of the Basin Reserve and its neighbourhood.
