The four-bedroom 1920s house on Waterloo Rd in Hutt Central sits on 2227 square metres of land.
One of last large sections that were once common In the city, it is one of many properties acquired by developers following a recent district plan change which opened the floodgates for housing intensification. It had been in the same family for nearly 100 years.
The sale eclipsed the previous record of $4.60m for a residential property set by a house in Boulcott’s Military Rd last year.

Here’s what you need to know:
◼️ Face coverings are legally required for everyone 12 years and older.
◼️ Standing isn't allowed on services. Staff won't allow people onto services if they don't believe space is available, so plan ahead and be patient with operators.
◼️ Check in as soon as you board the service.
◼️ Stay home if you're sick. Sitting directly next to someone is allowed. Be mindful that drivers may not stop to collect passengers if all seats are occupied. Dedicated school bus services are exempt from the no standing requirement.
One Govt MP has a bet of a case of wine that 90% of New Zealanders who qualify will be fully vaccinated against Covid 19 and its variants by Xmas.
I think he will win. And this will put us at number one in the world for percentage of population vaccinated.

I think he will win. And this will put us at number one in the world for percentage of population vaccinated.
Then in early in the new year, a second and maybe third booster vaccinations will be programmed.
Internal and international Covid vaccination "passports" will be available for everyone who have been properly vaccinated and they will be required for entry to many places and events.
To do our part, here's two phrases we believe everyone should know in Te Reo Māori.
Yesterday I looked out of a window of my house and witnessed one of the largest and most impressive rainbows I have seen. Took a photo or two.
I believe it is on its way: Individual people aged over 12 showing proof of currently acceptable Covid vaccination/s or no right of entry into everywhere/everything with few exceptions.

The age 12 and over is only temporary until a safe vaccine is pronounced for children aged 6 months to 11 years.
There is some of this happening overseas already and the New York Central Park concert of a few days ago had all 60,000 fans having provided proof they had been Covid jabbed watching a host of celebrated artists who also have been Covid jabbed.

Don't mix in what actually lies in Trentham or the rest of Upper Hutt.
The new Wallaceville Railway Station is a feature and with an increasing importance, fish and chips etc takeaway shop Scoops is back alive and kicking after a year burnt and gutted, Quinn's Post has a history and an association with the Trentham Racecourse going back to the heyday of NZ horse racing.
Are there any very notable/prominent people who lived or live in Wallaceville?
Family-owned Auckland print company Soar is flying high, with two of its team winning accolades at the prestigious Pride in Print 2021 awards.

Print apprentice Travis Jordan was named the Print Industry Apprentice of the Year, while Alex Huynh won the Workplace Trainer of the Year. For Travis, the award is an acknowledgement of the time and effort he has put into his craft.
“It’s really special and a reminder that you get out what you put in,” he says. “The award is something I’ll happily carry with me throughout my career.”
It's awesome to see not only one of our apprentices getting recognition, but also the skilled team member who trained him winning an award.

In the frontage part of this commercial/offices development there appears there will be four new large buildings to go with the three currently being completely renovated inside and make-over exteriorly . The main building (Buddle House) which in part is 4 storied is a major undertaking with old cladding being removed. It is hoped to have a restaurant on the ground floor with a gym envisaged and I believe both will be availed to the public at large.
I believe the bulk of this building will have a single organisation occupying it.
Part of the land will become a walking and jogging loop and most of the current trees on the site will remain.
Taking a guess I would say that the occupancy could be
in the 500 ballpark.
Great that the Wallaceville Railway Station is across the road.
