Im sure Peter Jackson would like a big statue of himself. And according to Kerry,if he likes the idea,then so does the whole of wellywood. So that seems like a winner.

Allegedly

Cheers Smithy. I'll find another link since there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it, so I'm guessing it's an anti-hotlink thing. Here's the original anyway:

WELLINGTON SAVED FROM MAJOR UN_NATURAL DISASTER
Wellington Airport has backed down from a proposal to erect a "Wellywood" sign and is asking the public for alternative ideas.

The airport announced on March 8 that it would put a 28m-wide by 3.5m-high sign on steep hillside land it owns next to the Miramar cutting in June.

 
Its's all over barr the shouting !
Good result cant wait to hear what the Mayor(Kerry no pals) has to say ,she was hung out to dry on this one with all her sychophants running for cover !!
 
 
Support WELLYWOOD "Wellywood will be rightfully recognised for what it is � an extraordinary contributor to Wellington�s identity, its economy, and more recently to its tourism industry."
- Mayor Kerry Prendergast LMAO Pity about the pumkins though!
 
 
Now the good folks at the airport are starting to look like an Italian tank in WW2 one  forward gear and four reverse!
We have dropped the idea eh no we haven't well yeah we kind of have but we  may keep it we're eh like not sure  !!!
Wheres the Mayor in this time of great crisis and social divide in our great city ?
Hiding somewhere in China no doubt  at the  rate payers expense !!

The answer to life's problems are rarely found at the bottom of a beer glass - but it's always worth a look.

I had hoped this thing had gone away, but alas they are determined to go ahead with it.

Only thing wrong with that Jambo is that the sign is not accurate. Within Wellington there are two known, although small scale, nuclear reactors.

And not to mention all the Nuclear Densometers the enigineering consultants & roading contractors possess. Our company has one.

It's also pretty clever of them to split the non-wellywood vote by putting it up against 2 signs in the final vote. Just saying...

I dont really like either.
 
Anybody remember the proposal for the Giant fish hook aong the entrance to the motorway?
As far as I know its not going ahead now but that would have looked much better when passengers fly in and out of the airport. And who drive along that stretch of motorway

Mean. There was also an idea for the hook to be in the hillside where the sign is going to be. That wouldve been so much better than the options we have been given.

It is interesting to hear all the rhetoric about how creative our city is but there were no (from what I could see) creative people on the panel which chose the ideas. Sham.
