Wellington City Council is a territorial authority in the Wellington urban area of New Zealand. It is New Zealand's third-largest city by population, behind Auckland and Christchurch. Wellington city extends as far north as Linden, and includes the rural areas of Makara and Ohariu. It adjoins Porirua city in the north and Hutt city in the north-east.
Wellington attained city status in 1886. The settlement had become the capital of New Zealand in 1865, and since then has hosted New Zealand's Parliament and Government.
The city council has used the marketing slogan "Absolutely Positively Wellington" in an official capacity since the early 1990s.
The Wellington City Council represents a population of 398,300, and consists of a mayor and fourteen councillors elected from five wards (Northern, Onslow-Western, Lambton, Eastern, Southern) using the Single Transferable Vote system.
Current mayor Celia Wade-Brown is not in favour of Wellington adopting a 'super city' type council like the one in Auckland, though is in favour of reducing the number of councils in the greater Wellington area from nine to "three or four".
Wellington (/ˈwɛlɪŋtən/) is the capital city and second most populous urban area of New Zealand, with 398,300 residents. It is located at the south-western tip of the North Island, between Cook Strait and the Rimutaka Range. It is the major population centre of the southern North Island, and is the administrative centre of the Wellington Region, which also includes the Kapiti Coast and Wairarapa. Wellington is the world's southernmost capital city of a sovereign state.
The Wellington urban area comprises four cities: Wellington city, on the peninsula between Cook Strait and Wellington Harbour, contains the central business district and about half the population; Porirua on Porirua Harbour to the north is notable for its large Māori and Pacific Island communities; Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt are largely suburban areas to the northeast, together known as the Hutt Valley.
The 2014 Mercer Quality of Living Survey ranked Wellington 12th in the world. In 2011 Lonely Planet Best in Travel 2011 named Wellington as fourth in its Top 10 Cities to Visit in 2011, referring to it as the "coolest little capital in the world".

I took a 3 day course with Yoobee School of Design. I met some awesome people and for two of those days I was able to craft this film with two other awesome people. Our theme was 'Wellington Tourism' so we were able to film around the City with ideas we had thought about and went around Wellington for about 6 hours filming. This was lots of fun and I'm so glad we were able to have the opportunity to make this film.
