Shovel finally hits dirt at controversial Shelly Bay developmentStuff - Dominion Post: 30-Jan-2023Shovel has hit dirt at the controversial $500 million Shelly Bay development after years of litigation, occupation and accusation. Wellington developer Ian Cassels, Taranaki Whānui leader Kara Puketapu-Dentice, and Wellington City Council chief planning officer Liam Hodgetts used shovels to break the earth in a morning ceremony on Monday. Wellington company Director Ian Cassels said the sod turning represented a turning point of the development, and was an “amazing celebration” of what was to come. When speaking to Stuff, Cassels said 350 houses were still planned to be built for the area. When asked if the development was still valued at $500 million, Cassels said he didn’t think so, as the current market would have changed that dramatically.
