Plans discussed for two derelict Wainuiomata school sites
This derelict Wainuiomata school site has been vacant since 2002, when both schools closed to merge with schools in Parkway.
The Port Nicholson Settlement Trust is looking at a range of options for the former Wainuiomata College and Intermediate site, including building 200 new houses on it.
However a Lower Hutt hapū went public last week with plans to oppose the Trust, with their own plans which included a medical centre and emergency housing.
Port Nicholson chairman Wayne Mulligan said the trust had not made any decisions about the future of the land just yet and will be taking six options to an AGM in two weeks, where members would get a chance to have their say.
