Industrial Opportunities
So there is an acute shortage of industrial land within the Greater Wellington area.
Surely Upper Hutt should come to the rescue.
Buoyant at the moment due to a sharp rise in new commercial, recreational and residential activity, Upper Hutt is at last getting its available commercial areas and pockets of land and properties utilised. And this will increase no doubt when a major commercial area in Lower Hutt shuts down through Hutt River flood management procedures.
But commercial does not equate to industrial.
So Upper Hutt with an abundance of land which could be made available for industries, should get going to fulfill such a demand. It can only further advance the new appetite for the positive development of Upper Hutt.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
