Subdivisions

Russell Properties is involved in building homes in two subdivisions in the northern suburbs of Wellington - Churton Park and Grenada Hunters Hill.

Churton Park

Churton Park is a suburb located 1.5 km north of Johnsonville in the Northern Suburbs of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. It was established in the 1970s, and has a current population of 7,900 residents. It is now one of the fastest growing greenfields suburbs in Wellington, and is expected to grow to a population of over 12,000 residents in the next 20 years.

Much of the most suitable land for development in the capital lies within the 40 sq km stretching from Ngauranga Gorge north to Porirua. The Wellington City Council has set up a draft Northern Growth Management Plan to manage development of the area. It sets out a proposed blueprint for where council planners would like to see new housing subdivisions, new or extended roads, and industrial and business developments. There are no plans for new satellite suburbs. Instead, existing communities will be built on, with the aim of invigorating suburban centres such as Tawa and Newlands.

Churton Park is being developed as a highly desirable residential area. Recently Churton Park has experienced many new developments. These include Amesbury School, Churton Park Village and the Westchester Drive Link Road. See www.churtonparkinfo.co.nz for current information and updates on the the sub-division activities and the latest section releases.

Grenada Hunters Hill

Grenada Hunters Hill (known previously as Lincolnshire Farm) is a new greenfields subdivision strategically located between State Highways 1 and 2, and close to all three major Wellington urban centres of Porirua, Hutt Valley and Wellington City. 

The proposed development, over the next 15 years will include:

  • 800 – 900 new households in a variety of densities and styles, including stand-alone houses, townhouses and lifestyle blocks.

  • A business area with local employment opportunities of around 45 hectares in size.

  • New road connections, as well as recreation and ecological links and protection.
