TRENTHAM SOUTH EMERGES NOT

Michael from Trentham

The Post this morning carried a front page story on the Wallaceville Estate and its writer, Brittany Keogh says that the Estate is sometimes called Trentham South.

Nah.

I have lived in the Estate for over 4 years and never heard from any source it being referenced as Trentham South.

The Post this morning carried a front page story on the Wallaceville Estate and its writer, Brittany Keogh says that the Estate is sometimes called Trentham South.

Nah.

I have lived in the Estate for over 4 years and never heard from any source it being referenced as Trentham South.

Anyway I doubt that the Estate is south of Trentham proper in any case.

The Gillies developers of the Estate, Land Information NZ, NZ Post, Upper Hutt City Council all recognise Wallaceville Estate as being in the suburb of Wallaceville.

Just like Blue Mountains Campus, the Estate's "front" entrance is Ward Street which is part of Wallaceville.

If one is entering address details online, many of the organisations systems will not accept Trentham as legitimate for people with an address in the Estate.

The cut-off, cut-on points for some suburbs are often obscure.

Wallaceville Estate was once billed as eventually containing around 700 properties. This will now increase to around 800 and if three persons per household is the medium, around 2500 people will occupy the Estate.

The Estate is billed as being a safe haven from earthquakes, floods and liquefaction. The magnitude 5.7 earthquake on October 6 centred a little west of the Wellington region was felt by many, but me in the Estate within my "bullet proof" home, felt not a thing nor did the Corgi find it necessary to alert anyone.

Does anyone have a contact email address or phone number for Robert Strong? Before Neighbourly went down we were messaging each other regarding the canteen of cutlery I am selling. Now Neighbourly has come back on line those messages have disappeared.

Kia ora neighbours.
My daughter is part of a local roopu Te Huatai Katorika which is made up of three kapahaka groups from Sacred Heart College, St Bernards College and St Patrick's College.
They are in serious need of new piupiu and also need money for covering weekend stays at local Marae for the roopu to practice for kapahaka regionals and hopefully nationals next year. If any local businesses would be willing to donate items or services, it would be truly appreciated and we would display your businesses name as one of our supporters. This is also quite time sensitive as the raffle is going to be sold at our po whakanui on Thursday 17th October. Please message me if you are willing to donate towards our cause. Thanking you all so much for your consideration and helping our children realize their goals for 2024/2025 Kapahaka Regionals Journey. Letter from the school is attached for your consideration.
