UPPER HUTT SETBACKS

Michael from Trentham

Upper Hutt has been on an upward spiral over the last several years not seen to the same extent in Wellington, Lower Hutt, Porirua, Kapiti, Horowhenu and Wairarapa.
But further progress and stretching out the bump in population has come to a stop - albeit temporary.

Upper Hutt has been on an upward spiral over the last several years not seen to the same extent in Wellington, Lower Hutt, Porirua, Kapiti, Horowhenu and Wairarapa.
But further progress and stretching out the bump in population has come to a stop - albeit temporary.

The bold planning of multi storied apartments on a part of the Trentham Racecourse site accommodating a few thousand people and ensuring the conrinuation of top level racing has been placed on hold. This comes after a glitch of the Silverstream Spur housing development which could draw in several thousand residents. The SS is also likely to evenrually go ahead but not right now.

The one thing publicly announced in the last day is the increase of prison accommodation due to start in the ever growing mini city that is Rimutaka Prison.
This Upper Hutt facility is the largest prison in NZ and harbours thousands of prisoners and over a thousand staff.

Not the kind of progress Upper Hutt really wants though there are good benefits from employment opportunities, ancillary services needed for the prison and demand for local rental properties.

HAKA HEAVEN AT TMP

So in Auckland last Sunday evening, the Guiness world record for a mass haka was achieved with just a small crowd of around 6500 Aucklanders.

I know Wellington could easily do better.

Just get the Upper Hutt City Council to spearhead a mass haka at the massive and well groomed Trentham Memorial Park on a sunny afternoon and we will nail it, hopefully doubling the yet ratified world record.

The event would not only be a world record haka attempt but an occasion to showcase other attractions and allow for the presence of mobile food outlets.

The haka the All Blacks and Black Ferns perform are famous and very well regarded world wide. World tv such as CNN featured the record breaking haka on their news programmes.

You are invited to a public meeting to discuss the threat to the future of the Waikanae Garden Precinct’s character at the Waikanae Bowling Club @ 356 Te Moana Rd on Thursday 10 October @ 5.00pm.

Ngarara Rd residents are alarmed that a 20 dwelling development at 14-16 Ngarara Rd has been approved by the KCDC via an unnotified consent. New rules have abolished the special area designation and will allow multiple homes on tiny sections. We want the previous existing protections reinstated and for the KCDC to publicly notify the residents so that relevant objections in a public arena can be made where necessary.

Help protect the special character of the Waikanae Garden Precinct by showing your support at the public meeting.
