Andrew Little: Wellington mayor on the Golden Mile project getting put on hold
Update: 2025-11-20
Description
Wellington's mayor says scrapping the controversial Golden Mile project would be relatively easy, but they want to act in good faith.
Councillors voted 12-4 to hold fire, after warnings the project could balloon to $220 million up from the 2021 budget of $160 million.
Doing up Courtney Place could cost up to $25 million more than approved.
Andrew Little says there's no contract or exit costs - but there's an agreement with NZTA.
"We actually need to maintain that relationship with NZTA, we've got some big projects scheduled for Wellington now too."
