Suburb Dilemna: Trentham or Wallaceville
Wallaceville Estate reeks of being a new housing area in the Upper Hutt city suburb of .........wait for it..........Wallaceville.
But the Upper Hutt City Council has deemed the area with all its dozens of streets which will house around 2500 people, as being part of the suburb of Trentham which is the largest populated suburb of the city. This is even though the Estate actually fronts onto Ward Street which is part of Wallaceville and one would assume the name of Wallaceville Estate should speak for itself.
Now the argument does not stop there..
NZ Post recognises Wallaceville Estate as being in Wallaceville and subsequently on many online commercial, governmental and other outlets websites will not accept a Wallaceville Estate street address which includes Trentham as the suburb.
NZ Post is a central Government agency. So just who IS correct - Central Govt or Local Govt (re Upper Hutt City Council) and who SHOULD be correct?
