Sanity In Suburbia

Michael from Trentham

Guess what Upper Hutt suburb the Wallaceville Estate is in.
Wrong if you said Wallaceville - up til now.

The housing sub division Estate with its eventual 750-odd houses, the first batch being occupied over five years ago, was designated as being part of Trentham.
But it seems commonsense has now prevailed probably within the minds of some UHCC staff, and people living within the Estate will now have to alter their addresses.

But it is not if we have been advised of the change. I wrote to the council only yesterday concerned at the confusion with NZ Post who always had recognised Estate addresses as Wallaceville whereas the council were hell bent on Trentham,

Well the Council quickly responded. LINZ says the entire Estate subdivision with some of it surrounding Trentham Racecourse is part of Wallaceville and this is what was relayed to me by council.

I have always said that the frontage of the Estate is Ward Street alongside Blue Mountains Campus and both Ward Street and the Campus are in Wallaceville.

The confusion of suburbs and where Wallaceville Estate sits had affected many online transactions.
So a whole lot of Estate residents will now need to alter their addresses and this will be messy and time consuming let alone costly if "business" cards also need to be updated.
