Wellington City Council has agreed unanimously to drop plans to spend 100s-of-millions of dollars to fix up Civic Square and the City to Sea Bridge.
It's just two of what are many expensive projects including cycleways that look like they will be put on hold.
Add to that the council will consult with the public about selling its stake in the city's airport.
Wellington mayor Tory Whanau spoke to Corin Dann.
