A coalition of committed Wellington businesses, stakeholders and industry groups concerned about the focus and progress of Let’s Get Wellington Moving (LGWM) has launched today. Progress Wellington has come together because of a shared concern that LGWM is no longer focused on getting Wellington’s transport network moving forward.
The group includes retailers, restaurants, cafes, transport operators, service providers, and businesses, calling for outcomes that will ensure Wellington actually gets moving.

A greater focus on climate change and reducing carbon emissions is just one of the changes to emerge from an update to the objectives of the Let’s Get Wellington Moving programme. The recent review has also highlighted the importance of safety as a core underpinning principle of the programme. While all the original objectives remain, two have been adjusted for the current operating environment.
The Regional Council approved the changes this week, following an earlier endorsement by the Wellington City Council. The changes have also been agreed by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
A weighting has been established for each objective, to help assess options and guide the programme’s next steps in making Wellington a more liveable and connected city. This follows recommendations by the independent Health Check report in late 2020.
