Most Sought After City To Rent A House
That little (in population) modest city called Upper Hutt is now been awarded whatever for being the most expensive city or town in NZ to rent a house/rental domestic accommodation.
Unbelievable yes but there you are.
What has gone on to create this monster of unaffordability called Upper Hutt that not many years ago, people wanted a name change because of a reputation of criminality?
Not much as far as I can see. Maybe a whole lot of factors that somehow add up.
Has climate change made UH less icy cold. Has new and improved amenities (Brewtown etc) given UH a breath of fresh air. Has working from home made travel to Wellington and Lower Hutt and over the Haywards less having to frequent. Has more job opportunities locally given a boost. Has new housing raised the bar for renting ( a brand new tightly sized two storied 2 or 3 bedroom apartment style house in the Wallaceville Estate is going for $700 a week rent, $36,000 per annum). Has the many open spaces of UH getting recognition. Has UH as a dog ownership haven, being recognised. Has retailing in UH turning a corner, gaining recognition. Has our close proximity to the Wairarapa - Marinborough in particular - being a factor.
Goodbye Auckland, hello Upper Hutt - for the time being.

Tap Fusion opens Wellington Fringe Festival
New Zealand’s home-grown Tap Dance show, Tap Fusion, will be opening the Wellington Fringe Festival at the Hannah Theatre this weekend. The show is a unique collaboration of New Zealand’s top Tap dancers performing alongside artists of Street Dance, Swing Dance and live musicians. This will be the first time a Tap show has been seen at the Fringe Festival.
Tap Fusion is the work of former New Zealand Dance Champion brothers Brandon and Cameron Carter-Chan. They say the show is designed to expose the diversity of New Zealand artists through Tap Dance by inspiring, uplifting, and promoting the idea of creative collaboration, encouraging people to work with artists outside their social circle, and to increase opportunity and strengthen the arts community as a whole.
Tap Fusion is on at The Hannah Theatre, 12 Cambridge Terrace, Wellington on 13th & 14th February.
I'm looking for a workshop in the Wellington Region.
Does anyone know of any local art workshops on using epoxy resin?
Links or contacts would be greatly appreciated, please
Thanks in advance
