Pickle #63, great idea. That would look awesome!

@Bob #41 - Agree totally with Michelle #88 - New Zealand needs more rugby obsession like it needs another Camp David. There's more to us than chasing a ball around a paddock.

@Bob #39... oh yea, let's do another rugby thing. is that all we have to be known by? glad they kicked the wellywood idea because it was lame-o but it was refreshing to have something to do with film and not SPORT!

Here's an idea: why not put the money towards reinstating the 15 minutes free usage of the car park at the airport for pickups? The current situation is a shabby money-grab.

Hey Bob, are you serious when you say wellington home of rugby...naaah. you can't be. Reckon you might have been walking into the wind and sleet for too long if you are

Thank goodness enough people complained and the airport and council listened. It was such a stupid, copy cat idea.

I think putting a sign or something up is fun and funky, tho maybe when there is a bit more money floating around.

Not sure why it has to be just about film, but for this, I think a big Weta or something about middle earth would be quite good.

I'd also like to seem them get rid of the gorse and get some native trees up there as well.

Good decision to stop and think again.

By the way the original proposal wasn't a Council decision. Councillors only found out about it when it turned up on the front page of the newspaper, and I don't think many of us (councillors) were at all impressed by either the process or having probably the biggest sign in Wellington pseudo-renaming our city, without any notification - including through the consent process. I'm 100% sure we can find a much much better way of celebrating the film industry. Personnally I think an active museum of film would be a massive attraction.

So how much would Wellington airport pay some one professional to come up with a name. Im thinking a few free frights around New Zealand for the slogan they choose for the person whos slogan they use. Hey nothing is free these days

why not a tui board WELLYWOOD-YEA RIGHT

How about putting the money towards a longer runway. Perhaps then we might get a few more international flights into Wellington instead of directing so many of our visitors through Auckland.
