A letter for residents and business in or around Allen Street about the Courtenay Precinct Block Party happening on Saturday 16 November 2024

Background to the event
A group of local businesses has been working on various ways to revitalise Courtenay Place for local residents, businesses and visitors. For example, you may have seen the Buskers programme running in the area during Autumn, and heard about the planned New Year’s Eve Courtenay Carnival. 

We’ve been working with the Wellington Council, and organisations such as Hospitality NZ, Wellington Airport, Centreport, and Inner-City Wellington to develop ways to activate this area and combat the view that it is a dying part of the city. 

This work is also aligned with the Council’s Courtenay Place Precinct Plan. 

About the event & road closures 

The event will run from 3pm until 11.30pm. 

However, to enable setting up of the street, Allen Street will be closed from 6am on Saturday, 16 November 2024 and will re-open at 5am on Sunday 17 November 2024. For residents requiring vehicle access during the closure, please contact

We encourage you to come out, enjoy the fun, and meet your neighbours! Thank you for your understanding and support in making this event a success.

See you at the event! Brett McCall, 
for The Courtenay Precinct Revitalisation Team
