New Zealand government reviews future of Watts Peninsula as Peter Jackson advocates for public reserve

The New Zealand government is set to decide the future of Watts Peninsula, a 76-hectare area in Wellington. The Land Information Minister, Chris Penk, has received new advice regarding the land's development. Filmmaker Sir Peter Jackson has expressed his desire for the site to become a public reserve. This proposal has been pending since it was first announced in 2011. Despite the long wait, the government is now reviewing options for the land. The decision will clarify the future of this prominent Wellington landmark.
