Well the number of dwellings for this Gillies Group enterprise has previously stood at a smidgeon over 700, And despite some minor developmental changes since plans were first (and subsequence to this) drawn up, the dwelling total has moved very little. And so the 700 new houses as a result of this ongoing develoment is correct and the 900 is not. The difference is a matter of some 600 less people being housed in the Wallaceville Estate.
So the DomPost got it wrong. They never contacted the Gillies Group either before the story or after.
Maybe other information produced in the story is also incorrect.

First though of at least in part, in 1913.
Kapiti will benefit the most but so too will regular travellers and holiday makers especially during peak hours. And how many people have been caught up on a weekend afternoon or evening trying to get back to the Hutt Valley/Wellington/Porirua?
A coulpe of years ago I thought I would play smart and not leave the Levin area until after 8.30pm on a Sunday to avoid the usual traffic snarls. No such luck. Last time I was up that way and heading home on a Sunday evening we left near midnight and managed a clear run. But this is what one had to do in order to not face tiresome, time consuming and expensive motoring.
Then of course there is the fragility of Cennential Drive (Pukerua Bay-Paekak).
Shame that Transmission Gully will be like every other highway and motorway in NZ and only fit for a company such as Filton Hogan to hugely profit from because the road making processes in NZ equates to repairing and resurfacing at regular intervals.
Transmission Gully is 27km in length and took from Sept 2014 to March 2022 of construction and certification. It is said that a similar undertaking in China would have taken just 2 years and get this: the roading in China would last in tip top condition for years and years.
Roll-on the motorway extension to Levin to further make inroads to four-lane driving all the way from the outskirts of Wellington.
Kapiti is the fastest growing area in the Wellington region and one of the fastest in development in NZ and this will only be accelerated with the Transmission Gully motorway. Its lifestyle will change forever.
So that is one route out of Greater Wellington being attended to. The other is the road to the Wairarapa and one can only sigh in either relief or in agony that a vehicular tunnel through the Remutakas would create another speedy outlet/inlet and would have created a completely different lifestyle to that enjoyed or otherwise in the Wairarapa.
Colin Bailey remains a role model and trailblazer for people with Down syndrome, 40 years after he became New Zealand’s first ever Special Olympics athlete.
Bailey, with plenty of help from Grant Quinn, made history at the Special Olympics World Summer Games, in Baton Rouge, in 1983.

I'm worried about all the changes that have happened in my life but hoping to find a loving home to call my own. I am looking for an experienced person to care for me, and who has the patience to bring me out of my shell. My previous fosterer says that I can be a sweet girl in time, it just takes me a while to settle in. I enjoy playing with toys once I am comfortable and also hanging out next to humans I trust. I do have a small health concern to discuss. If you would like to meet me please don't hesitate to apply."
