Wellington Airport is putting its Wellywood sign plans on hold after a strong public backlash against the idea.

It is calling on individuals with a range of Wellington interests to set up a panel to discuss other options for the site.

Wellington International Airport last week said it would reconsider its plans for the sign on the Miramar hillside after city councillors voted 10-4 against the move.

The sign has provoked strong reactions, including a drive-by protest at the airport organised by a 25,000-strong Facebook group called Protest Wellington International Airport: No Wellywood Sign!

   "This type of copy cat stupidity seems totally at odds with the kiwi image of individuality and idiosyncracy."

   "Wellington could be the Next Los Angeles. Wellywood will become a trademark for another filming destination. Be positive guys."
