Tennis land could be sold for health hub
The Hutt Valley Tennis Association land at the centre of Hutt City councillor Chris Milne’s unprecedented disciplinary investigation could be sold.
Hutt City councillors on Tuesday accepted a recommendation to take first steps towards revoking the reserve status of part of the land, the first step towards selling it.
Milne, whose wife is president of the tennis association, was in October found to have breached the council’s code of conduct over his ongoing conflict of interest in the matter.
Hutt Valley Health Limited, which has a medical hub next to the 1640 square metre block at Mitchell Park, is interested in buying the land, which is valued at $1.4 million. The council has spent years discussing the potential sale.
Councillors noted the association supported the move if the proceeds of the sale were re-invested in their redevelopment plans.
Milne was not present when the vote was taken.

Public Transport fares face 70% increase..
Wellington region users says increases to public transport fares of more than 70 percent would be "ludicrous", and would lead to them working from home more often, or taking the car rather than the bus.
