On 2026-05-16, Associate Transport Minister James Meager signed off a fast-track approval allowing Wellington International Airport to spend more than NZ$100 million renewing 400 metres of its ageing southern seawall. The project is tied to the airport campus and includes promised little blue penguin colonies as mitigation; enabling works are expected later this year.
