| | Wellington trams |
 | | In 1903, the predominantly rural area controlled by the Melrose Borough Council (consisting of Roseneath, Hataitai, Kilbirnie, Lyall Bay, Island Bay, Melrose, Ohiro Bay, Happy Valley, Brooklyn, and Kelburn) merged with the WCC to became part of Wellington City. |
 | | Within months the main route through the city was completed and by 1907, trams were running through the Hataitai Tunnel to Kilbirnie, Miramar and Seatoun, through Berhampore to Island Bay, and up to Brooklyn and Karori Cemetery. |
 | | The Hataitai tram tunnel through Mt Victoria is still in use and many roads such as the main routes to Wadestown and Brooklyn owe their existence to the major engineering works which were required to lay tram tracks to these hill suburbs. |
