Wainuiomata's booming housing market
A third of all the houses for sale in Lower Hutt are in a suburb – Wainuiomata – that’s shaken off a dodgy reputation during the housing crisis.
TradeMe has just 213 properties listed for sale in the whole of Lower Hutt – a city with a population of over 100,000. Seventy are in Wainuiomata, which contains only 16.4 per cent of Lower Hutt’s housing stock.
Wainuiomata is in the midst of a purple patch with new investment flooding in after years of stagnation. The Hutt City Council recently announced an $8.5 million upgrade of the Queen St shopping area, which follows the building of a new supermarket and shopping area, and a $50m retirement village.
Robbery at a Naenae dairy
At around 8am Police were called to Rata Street where a group entered a Naenae dairy and presented a knife, stealing product. The offenders fled the scene in a vehicle which has since been located in Naenae Park abandoned. Police are appealing for information from the public.
Inspector Simon de Wit Relieving Hutt Valley Area Commander says: “Police are reviewing CCTV footage, speaking with witnesses, and we are searching the area as we work to identify and locate the offenders.”
“Enquiries are ongoing and a scene examination will be conducted.”
“If you have any information that may assist in identifying and locating the youths or saw a small silver Toyota hatchback leaving the scene towards Naenae Park between the hours of 8:10am and 8:20am please contact Police on 111 if it was recent or 105 if it’s after the fact. Please reference event number: P058472846,” says Inspector de Wit.
Alternatively you can report any information anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
