"Suffice to say we are looking forward to restoring the natural beauty of the bay." "Our immediate goal is to start the landscaping and replanting work required to return Shelly Bay to its natural state. "Whilst the project's cancellation brings about a shift in plans, it opens the door to opportunities for Shelly Bay that will hold different kinds of value for the community and future generations. "I know that they have a passion for nature like many Wellingtonians, and I feel like the community around Shelly Bay will be pretty happy with that outcome also."
