Building Up Numbers For Workplace Campus
Blue Mountains Campus in Wallaceville is due to have workers converge this coming December when it will be a compleled first stage of a four stages development.
With the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment diverting at least some of its operation to the campus to the tune of 130 or so staff, it now brings up over 350 staffers committed to working at this site. The other business committed to renting/leasing space so far is Kiwi Rail.
So we are starting to see the diverging of Government operations/departments from Wellington city out into the "suburbs"/region. In Wallaceville, there is less likely an earthquake impact.
I would estimate that after three completed stages at the campus development, the number working at the campus will be closer to 1000 than 500.
There will certainly by a cafe and a fitness gymn installed at the campus and it is likely the cafe if not the gymn will be also open to the public ie non working staff at the campus.
Other shopping precinct type businesses would be welcomed to be set up in the campus - I can think of a hair dressing salon for starters. I can only hope that the two nearby dilapidated dairies and Scoops Take Away will up their game - it will be in their interests and less of an embarrassment.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
