TRENTHAM SOUTH EMERGES NOT
The Post this morning carried a front page story on the Wallaceville Estate and its writer, Brittany Keogh says that the Estate is sometimes called Trentham South.
Nah.
I have lived in the Estate for over 4 years and never heard from any source it being referenced as Trentham South.
Anyway I doubt that the Estate is south of Trentham proper in any case.
The Gillies developers of the Estate, Land Information NZ, NZ Post, Upper Hutt City Council all recognise Wallaceville Estate as being in the suburb of Wallaceville.
Just like Blue Mountains Campus, the Estate's "front" entrance is Ward Street which is part of Wallaceville.
If one is entering address details online, many of the organisations systems will not accept Trentham as legitimate for people with an address in the Estate.
The cut-off, cut-on points for some suburbs are often obscure.
Wallaceville Estate was once billed as eventually containing around 700 properties. This will now increase to around 800 and if three persons per household is the medium, around 2500 people will occupy the Estate.
The Estate is billed as being a safe haven from earthquakes, floods and liquefaction. The magnitude 5.7 earthquake on October 6 centred a little west of the Wellington region was felt by many, but me in the Estate within my "bullet proof" home, felt not a thing nor did the Corgi find it necessary to alert anyone.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
