I explore the free Wellington, City Council, motorcycle and scooter parks across the city to find there are 60 free parking spots many that I was not aware of.
I have created a Google Map loaded with all the motorbike parks and parking information here:
This map will make finding motorbike parks simple and easy for you. you should also check out the WCC website as there is more info around parking of scooters and motorbikes here:
As well as on-street parking in the central business district, you can park in these Council-managed car parks:

Chris Cornell acoustic live snippets @ The Michael Fowler Centre
Chris Cornell at the beautiful Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington, New Zealand on 23rd of November, 2015. Recorded in secret (hence the poor video) on a Nokia Lumia 520. This was recorded to get a taster of his live show for anyone who wants to see it. It should not be taken as a fair representation of how absolutely amazing Chris is live, but is rather a non-distracting-those-around-me, live teaser, recorded on a very average phone. I do understand the reasons for not allowing recording at gigs.
New Zealand: Windy Wellington
Wellington
Capital of New Zealand
Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, sits near the North Island’s southernmost point on the Cook Strait. A compact city, it encompasses a waterfront promenade, sandy beaches, a working harbour and colourful timber houses on surrounding hills. From Lambton Quay, the iconic red Wellington Cable Car heads to the Wellington Botanic Gardens. Strong winds through the Cook Strait give it the nickname Windy Wellington.
On the waterfront, the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (commonly shortened to Te Papa) is the national centre focusing on the country’s natural history, cultures and art. From the city centre, a promenade lined with restaurants, parkland and heritage buildings leads to Oriental Bay. The Mt. Victoria Lookout has panoramic views of the city and harbour. Also reached by the Wellington Cable Car is the Carter Observatory, which houses the Space Place planetarium. A national arts hub, the city is home to the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra (in the Michael Fowler Centre) and the Royal New Zealand Ballet (in St James Theatre).
Places:
1. Harbourside
2. Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa
3. Wellington Botanic Garden
4. Brooklyn Wind Turbine
5. Wellington Airport (Wizard Gandalf)
6. Beehive ( Parliament House)

The Streets bring dancefloor bangers to Wellington's Michael Fowler Centre
The Streets, Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington July 23. Reviewed by Marcus Stickley. Mike Skinner's debut as The Streets, Original Pirate Material, was an album that felt like a soundtrack to my life when it dropped in 2002. It was a bedroom warm-up for a night out and a headphone listen for getting through a week of lectures and work. Skinner, a young geezer from Birmingham, spat sharp rhymes about addled minds and good times. The songs were like stories you might share with your mates hung over on a Sunday. A couple years later, he released A Grand Don't Come For Free, which was a bit more slick and even more clever; a concept album about not being able to catch a break. It was another great listen. Then, other than a few big singles ('When You Wasn't Famous', 'Everything is Borrowed'), I lost track of him for a while. It turned out he had chronic fatigue syndrome. After five albums he called time out on The Streets, and did a bit of DJing and film directing. READ MORE: * Mike Skinner: The Streets' rap magician on his verbal sleight-of-hands * Review: NZSO's Classical Journey at the Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington * The Phoenix Foundation dominate NZSO in live experiment Now Skinner has brought The Streets back, appearing in Wellington off the back of playing Australian festival Splendour in the Grass. It was the last night of his tour. The Michael Fowler Centre, home of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, seemed like a very grown-up venue for the gig. From Leeds to Sydney to Auckland, there had been moshpits and crowd surfing since The Streets returned last year. But last night a barrier set up at the front of the stage was getting in the way. Skinner thrived off being able to interact with the audience, whether it was a bit of back-and-forth banter or being in the middle of the crowd as he rapped over another banger. And there are plenty of them, from 'Has it Come to This' to 'Going Through Hell', 'Let's Push Things Forward' to 'Weak Become Heroes', one after another, with a few words thrown in between songs about changing lives with smiles and 1999 versus 2019. Proving even at 40 years old he was still up for getting rowdy, he sprayed the crowd gathered beyong the barrier (and the photographer in front of it) with champagne. Crowd surfing did happen, once he figured out how to cross from the stage into the arms of his fans, and everyone went wild. It was enough to forget the show was in the city's great concert hall, where performances usually involve a polite intermission and not singalongs. 'Dry Your Eyes' had everyone who wasn't recording the moment on their phones in chorus with Skinner. It was a song that must have carried meaning for anyone who'd been through a break-up about the time they first heard it. Skinner was sure to make the most of the last moments of his tour. After delivering 'Fit But You Know It', one last banger for the fans, he counted one, two, three, four and launched himself into the crowd. He was carried halfway
