A round the bays road race on the same day Victoria and Massey University students move into their central city accommodation. Victoria University Wellington anticipates around 700 students will be moving into its first year catered halls, with another 420 making the transition into independent living halls. Wellington City Council suggests anyone not taking part in either activity should avoid town to avoid potential gridlocks. “The Round the Bays largely effects the eastern suburbs and will be over by midday … the main [student] shifting usually happens in the afternoon,” spokesperson Richard MacLean said. Instead, along with other Nuku Ora staff, he will join the dozens of volunteers working to help the day run smoothly.
