Kaicycle, an urban farm in Wellington Aotearoa, is looking to expand their farm to an additional site. We evaluated various potential sites in Wellington in order to suggest 4 potential sites to expand to. This was done primarily through archival research, observations and interviews to interpret local policies, identify land, and understand local perception. We found that many promising potential sites were regulated by the WCC such that if Kaicycle were to modify their business structure they would have a much easier time acquiring land. Alternatively, privately owned sites were also evaluated. We identified Sisters of Compassion, Crawford Green, Houghton Valley School, and Elliot Park as the best potential sites for Kaicycle to expand too.
