The large block where Northpac timber was (to as far as where the new gym is if not further) has already been earmarked for apartments (approx 25?)but the Council has not informed any of the Newlands residents. There will be no off street parking and plans are also to open Atkinson Street right onto Newlands Road. This will happen in approx 2 years time unless we can collectively do something to block it! Newlands still does not have a 'park and ride', the council is responsible for allowing the Indian temple development at the back of the mall, they have allowed 16 2 bdrm units to be built in Batchelor Street to the side of the 'Business' area and there are plans to develop units or apartments in Oswald Crescent thereby creating yet more congestion in the heart of Newlands. Sounds a lot like what they are doing to ruin Johnsonville as well. 2019 is Council election year so some honest answers should be sought from the candidates in regards to bringing business and retail into Newlands instead of choking Newlands with intensive housing.

Working with habitat design experts, we’ve incorporated more climbing structures, hammocks and ropes than ever! These features aim to improve the Chimps wellbeing and encourage natural behaviours through environmental complexity.
There’s also a new immersive glass viewing area to help people connect with the Chimps and a new children’s playground, inspired by Chimps and how they play. Come to hang with the Chimps at Wellington Zoo for the grand opening of the Chimp Park and learn how you can make a difference to Chimpanzees in the wild.

But as I have posted in the past, I suspect some Couriers will not do a great job.
Yesterday we received a package for us delivered to us. Well done!
Yesterday our neighbours received a package for them delivered to them. Well done!
The suburb on each package was clearly marked.
Yesterday we received a package not for us delivered to us. The suburb on this package was clearly marked. It was very different from the suburb marked on the the other packages. Very poorly done!
While I applaud NZ Post for employing people with reading difficulties, could NZ Post train them to recognise that when the words for the suburbs are different on the packages, one of them MUST be in the wrong place!
The incorrectly delivered package remains at home. I am not paid by NZ Post to deliver their packages.
The worry is how many of our and YOUR packages will be mis-delivered this Christmas?
