SCHEDULE.

WELLINGTON LAND DISTRICT.—LOWER HUTT BOROUGH.

Belmont Survey District.—Hutt Valley Settlement.

The Department is now offering for sale a block comprising forty-nine excellent building-sites on the area to the east of the Woburn Railway-station, and lying between the railway and Waiwetu Road. As will be seen from the locality plan, the roading of this portion of the settlement has been treated in such a manner as to provide quick access to the Railway-stations and direct access to existing thoroughfares. The sections are all absolutely flat, and are within two or three minutes’ walk of the Woburn Station. The areas vary from 24 perches, with frontages of 50 ft. up to 35 perches with frontages proportionately greater.

The new Waiwetu School, now built, is in the immediate vicinity of this area, and many of the sections back on to the school ground. The roading is being pushed on rapidly, and the provision of sewerage, storm-water drainage, high-pressure water-supply, gas, and electric lighting will make this a residential area second to none in the Dominion.

NOTE.—The attention of intending purchasers is drawn to easements for public purposes as shown on the plan. Intending purchasers are also advised that a building-line restriction will operate in case of sections fronting streets of a less width than sixty-six feet.
