Wellington Town Belt

Wellington town belt and Outer green belt is a pair of strips of tree-filled wilderness spaces near and around central Wellington, New Zealand's capital city.

At the time of British settlement of Wellington immigrants came from areas with overcrowded cities and it was seen to be important that all citizens should have access to green spaces.

Private gifts: The strip runs from Mount Victoria south to Mount Albert, which is between Berhampore and Island Bay, and then north to Te Ahumairangi Hill or Tinakori Hill.

It was first proposed in 1976 to protect the skyline, wildlife and remaining native forest.

Some sites included are: In 2018, Wellington City Council purchased the 268 Ohariu Valley Rd property adding much of the ridge line overlooking Churton Park to the Outer Green Belt [3]
