Five Wellington sites with heritage protection are being considered for the removal or modification of their special status. An investigation found that some heritage provisions are having negative impacts on economic growth. The consultation is the next step in the process, with one of the affected sites being a rusting oil tank owned by Sir Peter Jackson.
