Guardians of the Bays

Guardians of the Bays is an incorporated society set up by Wellington residents with the objective of reducing the adverse environmental effects that arise from Wellington International Airport Ltd (Wellington Airport) and its related activities.

We are also extremely concerned that the proposed Wellington Airports expansion and extension plans will generate significant financial risks to the Wellington ratepayer who are expected to finance these proposals in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic and Climate Change Emergency.
