In early 2000 the public filled the Wellington town hall to listen to speakers opposing the Variation 17 proposal to redevelop the city’s waterfront.

It also shows Waterfront Watch’s chair Lindsay Shelton addressing the crowd, deputy mayor Alick Shaw shouting from the gallery, and a Variation 17 supporter.
