Wellington mayor Tory Whanau says she would rate her performance as the capital's mayor over 2024 as a "seven or eight". 

"I think it's gone up and down. Mid-year was probably around five, and if I would do things differently on certain things I would." 

It's been a difficult year for Whanau who has struggled to find a win.

The deal to redevelop Reading Cinema collapsed, she failed to gain the support of councillors to sell the council's stake in Wellington Airport, and the government appointed a Crown observer.

She ends the year with more controversial decisions made around her council table, including the decision to demolish Begonia House and the City to Sea bridge. 

Whanau joined Nick Mills for her final interview of 2024.
