For me, there is nothing wrong with improving the safety around the Wellington waterfront, using a simple commonsense (yet robust) fencing solution as had been identified (such as the image and article attached shows), especially giving light to the coroners recommendations, multiple deaths, ignoring the trauma families have had to endure which would have been entirely avoidable, to name a few.
You might like to read this article from August 2025 if you have a minute or two: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/politics/569388/councillor-says-safety-not-prioritised-as-wellington-waterfront-fence-voted-down
Fencing (or whatever method is adopted), is sure to protect and save lives in the future, not to mention restore a sense of safety and ease amongst the many people who walk this route.
From a spiritual perspective, which I feel is especially important, adopting fencing, barriers, or taking advantage of what natural barriers might already exist is the right thing to do as well, especially where it was made quite clear by the coroner that this should have always been the course of action to take. Saying “yes” and implementing a safety-orientated solution removes the karmic responsibility that those in council who voted “no” are likely to face if another death occurs.
Essentially, each of us is a spiritual being, and at our deepest innermost spiritual layers, in that “superconscious” part of ourselves, we sense the danger locations such as this wharf poses, even though it may be imperceptible to our conscious mind, and we may feel impervious that any harm could come our way.
This “spiritual unease” is something that accumulates in the way of negative energy, where I feel those in the council can make a different choice, solving the problem and bringing much more safety and sense of conscious and subconscious ease to those who wander along our beautiful waterfront. With this, they can be absolved of all responsibility knowing they have done everything they can to protect the lives of others.
Much love,
Jason
