Te Omanga Hospice big winner in house give away
An arrangement to give away one house surplus to requirement will help a hospice to keep its patients comfortable in their final hours.
The former owners of the two-bedroom weatherboard house in Lower Hutt, the Johnson family, organised to give it away for free after its section at 35 Rata St, Naenae, was earmarked for development.
A condition of the giveaway was a donation to Te Omanga Hospice and that’s exactly what happened, and them some.
Not only was an undisclosed donation made by the new owners, but the developers, Faisandier Group, and House moving company, Quality Demolition, each chipped in with $5000. The extra donations were announced on Tuesday when the house was removed from its foundations to be transplanted by truck and trailer to a new property in Maungaraki in Lower Hutt’s western hills.

Speed limits around NaeNae
Hi Neighbors, Just a heads up, I have just received a $170 fine for driving at 50km on Rata Street Naenae on a SUNDAY Morning. I wrote to NZTA pointing out and sending in a photo of sign stating that it was 30km on school days between those hours, but they said that the whole of Rata Street and some surrounding streets are 30km 24/7 and have been for over a year. Did I miss this been advised by council? Always good to be informed. Merry Christmas to all
