Wallaceville Com Dev Coming Along

Michael from Trentham

The Blue Mountains Campus in Ward Street, Wallaceville is coming along despite the Level 4 lockdown period which set things back a week or two.
In the frontage part of this commercial/offices development there appears there will be four new large buildings to go with the three currently being completely renovated inside and make-over exteriorly . The main building (Buddle House) which in part is 4 storied is a major undertaking with old cladding being removed. It is hoped to have a restaurant on the ground floor with a gym envisaged and I believe both will be availed to the public at large.
I believe the bulk of this building will have a single organisation occupying it.
Part of the land will become a walking and jogging loop and most of the current trees on the site will remain.
Taking a guess I would say that the occupancy could be
in the 500 ballpark.
Great that the Wallaceville Railway Station is across the road.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
