Five real estate agents told Stuff the million-dollar mark was creeping north as buyers flee Wellington where the median house price reached a record $1.1m last month. Lower Hutt’s median price also reached a record $839,000.
In 2012 Stuff reported the median price in the suburb was $325,000 – the highest price paid for a home then was $585,000, while the cheapest was a $100,000 unit.

The two-bedroom house is one of 25 newly-built homes in the Wesley Rātā Village, constructed on the former site of the WesleyHaven Resthome and Hospital in Naenae. The affordable rentals were built specifically for families on the social housing waiting list, some of whom have waited years for housing.
The Kirks had left a house in Stokes Valley a handful of years ago when Mateohorere developed asthma and other health issues as a result of damp conditions at the property. “The doctor told me that the house was making me sick,” Mateohorere said.

"Hi there my name is Maggie, I am a loveable lady looking for my forever home. In my previous home I had someone home with me full time and when left alone for periods at a time I have shown the ability to escape out of medium height fencing. So my new home would need to have high fencing and a plan for during the day if left alone that does not include being tied or tethered. I would love a home that has older children that have grown up around strong dogs and a home that has had experience with dogs. I have had a fair bit of training but there is always room to learn more things so would love a home that could put the time into teaching me. If you think you are the home for me get in touch with the canine team to learn more about me."

Regional council chair Daran Ponter said the proposal was in response to increasing demand for park and ride facilities, and the cost of constructing multi-level parking buildings to meet that demand was prohibitive.
The proposal to do away with free park and ride spaces, is in the Greater Wellington Regional Council's draft Regional Public Transport Plan 2021-2031. Submissions close at the end of today (Friday).

Agapanthus are flowering freely at the moment so it is a good time to think about how you can stop them from spreading by deadheading them.
In some parts of New Zealand they are considered an invasive weed.

The Hutt City Council had removed most of the extinguishers from its facilities over the past 12 months following a review of its fire safety plans. Facilities include the administration buildings and War Memorial Library.
Council spokeswoman Caryn Ellis said in the event of a fire, the council’s priority was for occupants to evacuate, not to fight a blaze.
Do you have fire extinguishers at your work.

"Guess this doesn’t happen very often ... but I am proud to still be part of the Saints Softball Club for 55+ years. My father managed teams in the early days and my three sisters plus numerous nieces & nephews played for the club. Now I have daughter Kiri and mokopuna Denva and Mesha playing in the same team with Mum and/or Nan still active in the club. The truth is ...I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t enjoy it so much! Surrounded by good people and still making great memories.:
