DELAY IS A SHADE OF BLUE

Michael from Trentham

Blue Mountains Campus in Wallaceville is yet in another delay in welcoming in its first tenant, KiwiRail.
The campus Buddle Building together with the purpose built rail control building will not be ready until at least July.
This is the third or fourth announced opening date. The last one was for April this year.

The developers have still only two organisations committed tenants. The other is Government Department, MBIE.
They are hopeful that once these tenants have settled in others will follow. If this doesn't work out, it is likely the other stages for commercial and retail activity will not occur or be temporary shelved and itis possible that residential housing will be installed instead adding to the Wallaceville Estate 700-plus housing development.

As a coffee buff, I am waiting for the cafe at Blue Mountains Campus with its flow out into a plaza to be opened. It will be available for the public.

I am trying also to get a quality hairdressing salon installed in the campus. Should go well as.the Campus fully utilised could house over 1000 workers and the salon will still be a public facility.
