Wellington's controversial Shelly Bay development is heading back to court yet again

Enterprise Miramar is launching new legal proceedings against the housing development on the Miramar Peninsular.

Judicial review proceedings have been filed at the High Court, over a resource consent granted for the project last year.

The group argues the project would lead to traffic congestion and infrastructure costs at a time the city's infrastructure is failing.

Enterprise Miramar chair Thomas Wutzler says as the consent application was still under special legislation, many people were shut out of the process.
