Trentham Racecourse Overhaul

Michael from Trentham

So in around 5-7 years we can expect the retention of the historical, famous racecourse proper of the international size it is currently and has been for around 120 years but with a completely amazing remodeled "offcourse".

850 above average apartments within multistoried blocks, a hotel, a retail village including bars and cafe/restaurants, other entertainment and features as well as facilities compatible with racing are replacing the two old grandstands and the land inbetween and on the outers.

As a local I hope that the Kiwi Rail-promised walkway from the Wallaceville Estate to the Trentham Railway Station and thus also the new racecourse complex, will finally be constructed. A walk to all of this on a good day would be right up my alley.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
