The sections being offered comprise part of the land which was purchased by the Crown from the Riddiford family in connection with the Hutt Valley Railway Deviation. The whole area has been laid out in accordance with modern town-planning ideas, a part of the general scheme of subdivision being shown on the locality plan. The situation of the sections is ideal, being within easy reach of either the White's Line or Waterloo Road Railway-stations. It is anticipated that the railway will be in operation at an early date, and when running, this settlement will be brought within twenty minutes of Wellington by rail.
The roads throughout this settlement are, wherever possible being formed below the level of the sections, so as to give better settings for houses and to provide adequate facilities for storm-water drainage. Roading, which is being carried out on up-to-date lines, is now proceeding rapidly, and when completed the streets will present a most attractive appearance.
The settlement has been provided with sewerage, storm-water drains, and high-pressure water throughout, and gas and electric lighting are now being provided.
Attention is drawn to the fact that a number of sections have been grouped so as to provide larger areas for those requiring same.
