Land occupied by a golf course could eventually become housing.
Prodrive Golf Silverstream in Upper Hutt will close on April 20.
The owners of the site plan to construct a cleanfill on the site to raise the land.
Raising the land by an average of 3.1 metres above the floodplain would make it suitable for building on. About 550,000 cubic metres – the equivalent of 220 Olympic-sized swimming pools – would be needed to raise the land to the required height.

Police cars

Vinnie from Unsworth Heights

I was on target road waiting in the queue and a police car just went passed the other side with his lights and sirens on. They were just going back to the station. Don't think it was a emergency!

An "outdated” aquatic centre where 23 children fell ill needs millions of dollars worth of upgrades and maintenance work to bring it up to standard.
Upper Hutt City Council is proposing a full upgrade of H2O Xtream Aquatic Centre at a cost of $17.5m over the next decade.
Eleven children were hospitalised and many others required medical attention on April 1 following a chlorine-related incident at the facility.
“The facility is ageing; it requires a lot of expensive, ongoing maintenance and needs a complete overhaul,” according to the council’s Long Term Plan 2021-2031, which has gone out for consultation.
Do you agree with the council spending millions on the pool.

Million-dollar dumps: Publicly owned properties fall to rack and ruin

To the side of East Auckland’s Te Ara ki Uta ki Tai cycleway, nestled in overgrown greenery, is a building that wouldn’t get a second glance if it weren’t for hot pink graffiti.

The house, owned by Auckland Council subsidiary Auckland Transport, was used as a site office by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency staff working on the $46 million cycleway between Glen Innes to Tāmaki Drive, Auckland Transport spokesman Mark Hannan said.

But locals say the property has been all but destroyed by vandals since the cycleway was completed in 2016.

The property is one of several that have become run down and derelict under the ownership of local government.
