The Golden Mile
Courtenay Place
The Golden Mile is Wellington’s main retail and commercial strip. It runs from the Parliament end of Lambton Quay, along Willis and Manners Streets, to the entertainment hub of Courtenay Place.
Beginning with Courtenay Place in late April 2025, we’re revitalising the Golden Mile. The project will connect people across the central city with a reliable transport system and generous spaces to shop, work and play.
Many of Wellington’s infrastructure assets such as water pipes, roads and footpaths are in need of repair and replacement. We’re working closely with our utilities operators to use the opportunity to improve these assets as we do construction work on the Golden Mile, which will mean less disruption and less cost for ratepayers in the long run.
Full information about the project, including safety and accessibility, construction timelines and the detailed design report can be found on the main Golden Mile page on our Transport Projects website.
