Artist's rendition of the Basin Reserve Flyover - overhead view.
Date: Thursday, December 10, 2009
Time: 7:30pm – 9:00pm
Location: New Crossways Community Cr, 6 Roxburgh St, Mt Victoria.
The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is making progress on plans to build a flyover over the Basin. It plans to go out to consultation on a design or designs starting from next February and will be meeting in a few weeks time to vote on how many options will be considered.
From what we know of the Agency, it is likely that only destructive roading options will be considered.
Come along to a planning meeting to hear the latest news and to get ready for the next phase of the campaign. We’ll report back on progress to date and will look for suggestions and ideas on how to achieve a more sensible outcome than an unnecessary flyover.
All welcome, see you there!

- Education: heaps of free workshops
- Direct Action: focusing on False Solutions to Climate Change
- Movement Building: the beginings of a peoples Climate Justice Movement in Aotearoa
Watch the film: Why you should come to climate camp (UK-focussed but a great introduction to what climate camps are all about)
