Wellington City Council is planning to classify 37 sites around Wellington as reserves to give them more protection.  They are places that most of us already regard as reserve or wilderness  but they lack official reserve classification.

Two of these sites are in the Outer Green Belt near Ngaio.

• Awarua Street Reserves – above Awarua Street and Vasanta Avenue
• Kilmister Tops – part of the main ridge behind Crofton Downs and Otari-Wilton’s Bush

“It is all good news as far as Ngaio Progressive Association is concerned.  We feel passionate about our backdrop and skylines. they are part of our identity.”

The Council wants your ideas, and is calling for submissions by 12 February.
