Wellington City Council has applied to remove a caveat registered at Shelly Bay. Photo / RNZBy Harry Lock of RNZWellington City Council has applied to remove a caveat registered at Shelly Bay which is blocking a crucial stage in a controversial housing development planned for the site. In the instance of Shelly Bay, the caveat applies to two sections currently owned by the council. The council owns 3.5ha of land at Shelly Bay but voted in November to sell 0.36ha and lease a further 0.58ha to Shelly Bay Limited - an organisation linked to The Wellington Company. It illustrates it's very difficult for the individual to override an institution which is funded by many people, which is in this case, the Wellington City Council."
