Plans discussed for two derelict Wainuiomata school sites

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This derelict Wainuiomata school site has been vacant since 2002, when both schools closed to merge with schools in Parkway.

The Port Nicholson Settlement Trust is looking at a range of options for the former Wainuiomata College and Intermediate site, including building 200 new houses on it.

However a Lower Hutt hapū went public last week with plans to oppose the Trust, with their own plans which included a medical centre and emergency housing.

Port Nicholson chairman Wayne Mulligan said the trust had not made any decisions about the future of the land just yet and will be taking six options to an AGM in two weeks, where members would get a chance to have their say.

Speed limits around NaeNae

Susan from Naenae

Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
