The amalgamation of Wellington, Porirua and Lower Hutt is being put back on the table.
A pre-election Wellington Chamber of Commerce report, released exclusively to our newsroom, reveals business leaders would like the three cities to merge.
A previous merger proposal was axed by Wellington in 2015.
But Porirua Mayor Anita Baker, a supporter of amalgamation, told Kate Hawkesby it should be revisited.
She says with Transmission Gully, the whole region is now very connected, and becoming one city makes a lot of sense.
