Blue Mountains Campus Dilemma
The KiwiRail control centre at the Blue Mountains Campus, Wallaceville is now operating in its new building and a part of the refurbished and restored Buddle Building is completed and part or all its ground floor of the four storey section of the building iis now occupied.
But it wiil be a few months before the remainder of Buddle Building is ready for occupancy including the cafe which will service both staff people in the campus and the public in general.
Next on the list of refurbisment etc are the two historical multi-storied buildings and the timber construction of two -four large single storied buildings.
But the developers are considering making some of the historical buildings residential instead of all commercial or doing a mix of residential and commercial elsewhere in the complex.
So far only KiwiRail and Ministry of Business Development etc have taken up tenancy. I believe TransDec are considering shifting part of their operation to BMC partially in favouring linking its connection with KiwiRail. Transdec operates the suburban railways in the Wellington and Wairarapa regions.
Buddle Building was proposed to have been available last December and according to a senior construction person on site, its delay is not due to material shortages nor staffing shortages.

Advice please, declined house insurance cover
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
Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
