Newlands Fire Station
The Council fully supports the Newlands volunteer firefighters – they do a fantastic job in both the Newlands and wider Wellington community.
We want to work together so Newlands can retain the volunteer brigade while also creating the new park that everyone has been looking forward to.
Our three Takapu-Northern Ward Councillors Jill Day, Jenny Condie, and Malcolm Sparrow, together with Ōhāriu MP Greg O’Connor, met with Newlands Volunteer Fire Brigade members this morning to talk about how the Council can help them secure a new site for a fire station.
It is important to acknowledge that while we can look for locations, the decision about whether a new volunteer fire station is built in the area will be made by Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ). Council staff have worked with FENZ over the last year to find alternatives and have offered a number of sites in the wider Newlands area.
