Kick Start for Trentham Project
Good news is that the Government has agreed to channel some funds to kick start the housing and shopping development at the Trentham Racecourse.
Gillies Group and the racecourse management led by its president, Wayne Guppy can now proceed with the consent phase.
Presumably the racecourse is looking to build up to six stories of apartments most of which will be one bedroom dwellings and they estimate the development will house around 1800 people. Also planned is a small shopping "village" and I take it that improvements made to current facilities including a revamped conference centre.
Some of the Govt handout to the Trentham project will go to infrastructure such as roading interchange development and water storage.
Whilst this was excellent news for Upper Hutt and indeed the Wellington region, other big Upper Hutt proposed developments missed out in being a recipient of the billion dollar handout. These include the Silverstream forest housing development and the St Patrick's College housing and retirement village development. It is a probability that both these projects will still go ahead
