Lower Hutt's state flats known as 'the Bronx' up for refurbishment
Two new apartment blocks are being planned for the Kāinga Ora (Housing) flats at the eastern end of Jackson St, Petone, known locally as “the Bronx” which have been under refurbishment since last year.
The flats most recently came to national attention on 2018 when drug-dealing pensioner Frank Tyson was killed and beheaded with a bread knife by Eugene Baker in a turf dispute.
Hutt South MP Ginny Andersen said the complex was in need of attention.
“As long as I can remember it’s been neglected.”
She was pleased residents and the wider community were being consulted on the new development. The complex needed to be more than just a roof over people’s heads, but a place where people could be comfortable and be part of a community.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
