would be separated from traffic. It also expects the Rocks Rd seawall to be replaced within the next 10 years. It says its priority recommendation would be implemented in 1015 years, but only after improvements to public transport availability. However, former Nelson MP Nick Smith, who has been an outspoken advocate for the inland route says the proposal is a “tragedy” for Nelson’s waterfront. He says that clearways have been tried and failed in other cities around the country. He says Nelsonians have a clear choice now between a National government and Labour as to what they want to future of the city to be.
“Too much money has been spent going round and round. We are clear about our position and so are Labour and people will have to make their choice.” Last election, Nick campaigned heavily on the inland route and Labour MP Rachel Boyack campaigned on creating clearways. Rachel says she is pleased that Waka Kotahi has heard community concerns about the impact of these priority lanes on some of our landmarks, and will consult with the community about the location of these. “Priority lanes enable us to enhance capacity for cars at peak times, but we can also prioritise the vehicles that are carrying more people such as buses and car-pooling vehicles.”

Following a successful debut of the Wāhine exhibition in Nelson last year, The Woven Women is back for a national tour. The Wāhine exhibition showcases personal stories from Māori women, with interviews and soundscapes accompanied by a portrait to present a series of unique perspectives on what it means to be a Māori woman. Artist and coordinator Loren Pasquier, originally from France, first showcased the project in February last year in Nelson. “It was quite a beautiful event and people were telling me to take it around the country,” she says.

The Wāhine exhibition hosted a fundraising night at Fairfield House on Saturday. Photo: Supplied. Loren began planning a South Island tour just months later, reaching out to rūnanga across Te Waipounamu to ask them about themselves, what it means to them to be a Māori woman, and the conversation evolved from that.” Loren says the exhibition is about starting conversations and furthering understanding between Māori and Pākeha ‘on a small scale’. The exhibition tour begins
in Christchurch on July 3, travelling through Dunedin, Invercargill, Hokitika then returning to Nelson at the end of 2021. Each stop will see women from local iwi added into the exhibition along the way. This kaupapa got off the ground with the help of local community grants. Loren is running a crowdfunding campaign this month on Boosted. For more information visit boosted.org.nz/ projects/wahine.
