The Wellington Chamber of Commerce says the council needs to financially compensate businesses affected by the Golden Mile works.
Construction on the Kent and Cambridge intersection with Courtenay Place will begin in April, as part of the project to revitalise the city's tired night-life stretch.
Mayor Tory Whanau previously floated a business support package, but officials yesterday said that was no longer an option.
Business Central CEO Simon Arcus told Mike Hosking that while the works need to be done, support for operators is a must.
He says it's not good enough to put businesses and livelihoods in peril and not offer any protection.
