For our business panel this week Nick is joined in studio by Steve Walters and Mark Quinn

Walters is the general manager of Kilbirnie, Lyall Bay and Rongotai Business association and helped establish the iconic Wellington Seven. Quinn is a respected commercial property figure with strong insight into retail, development and business trends across the region.

They discuss how the Moa Point sludge disaster is affecting confidence, particularly for east coast businesses already struggling with high rates. How much is council policy helping — or hindering — growth?

The panel will also weigh in on intensification, resistance to development, and whether Wellington needs a serious “shot in the arm” to revive confidence. And what would it take to bring back the energy and vibrancy of the Sevens-era glory days?
