Prominent Hataitai property for sale
A Hataitai house with a rich history and some interesting architecture is for sale.
The six bedroom, three bathroom property at 2 Konini Rd extends over 360 square metres, and sits on 825sqm land. Its current RV is $1,010,000.
Built some time after 1908 by Wellington developer, and one time Mayor of Auckland’s Onehunga, John James Boyd, it was one of several homes Boyd owned on Konini Rd.
In his retirement, Boyd decided that he wanted to set up a zoo in Whanganui. He imported animals from around the world, displaying them at enclosures in what was then a thriving port town, and eventually in Auckland.
It’s possible the properties on Konini Rd were built to fund Boyd’s menageries, says Jury.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
