Temporary new home for Newlands Volunteer Fire Brigade
The Newlands Volunteer Fire Brigade will be be temporarily housed at another location in Newlands while a decision is made on a permanent location.
Fire and Emergency New Zealand’s Te Ūpoko (lower North Island region) Manager Bruce Stubbs says the brigade has a long history of service.
Fire and Emergency is keen to find a new permanent home, he says. The brigade’s temporary new home will be Fire and Emergency’s ICT Hub in Hurring Place, Newlands, which is 1.4km from the existing fire station.
"The building is more modern than the current station, meets our seismic standards, has plenty of space and will require relatively little modification to meet the brigade’s needs."
The decision to relocate the station clears the way for the redevelopment of Newlands Park by the Wellington City Council. Site works are scheduled to begin shortly.
