Lights On In Brewtown

Michael from Trentham

Upper Hutt's Brewtown is once again the leading light for the Wellington region. This time it is in staging the four day Carnival of Lights over Easter.

Lower Hutt had the family popular lights show for a few years up to 2019 and it has been resurrected with additions to kickstart another annual highlight event at Brewtown.

So apart from world class lighting features ,experiences and attractions there will be entertainers and artists to keep those attending on their feet.

The Lower Hutt light show was a free open event paid by the Hutt City Council. The Brewtown event is partially paid for by the Upper Hutt City Council and partially from some of the funds coming from the entry fees. Most of it is under cover.

Don't be fooled by the publicised $10 an adult entry cost. It is $10 plus two sets of add-on fees if booking online and $15 if paying at the gate.

Brewtown of course offers several large restaurants so there is a choice for food supplanted with the usual meals-on-wheels.

Thursday April 6- Sunday April 9, 6.30pm-10.30pm

Advice please, declined house insurance cover

Jane from Pinehaven

Looking for advice please. Has anyone had any issues reinsuring their homes. Our current house insurance went up by 11.5%, so I decided to get another quote. At the end of a very long phone with Tower, they declined to insurance us, saying our property is a landslide risk. I'm on Wyndham Road in Pinehaven. While the house is up off the street, the house itself and backyard are on the flat part of our section. Now - in the interest of full disclosure - I'm going to have to tell our current insurer too. I've rung the Council to see if they've updated their hazards mapping - and they said the only update has been to the Pinehaven Overflow. Have lived in this house since 2003, and insurance has never been an issue till now. TIA
