DOMPOST GETS HOUSING FIGURES WRONG
DomPost had a sizeable story last week on new housing and commercial developments in the Wellington region. One of the story's highlight was the Wallaceville Estate/The Reserve private housing development which the DomPost said would eventually produce 900 new homes.
Well the number of dwellings for this Gillies Group enterprise has previously stood at a smidgeon over 700, And despite some minor developmental changes since plans were first (and subsequence to this) drawn up, the dwelling total has moved very little. And so the 700 new houses as a result of this ongoing develoment is correct and the 900 is not. The difference is a matter of some 600 less people being housed in the Wallaceville Estate.
So the DomPost got it wrong. They never contacted the Gillies Group either before the story or after.
Maybe other information produced in the story is also incorrect.
