Newlands
Newlands lies approximately 8km north of the city centre and to the east of its nearest neighbour, Johnsonville. Most of Newlands is perched on one of several hills, one side of which overlooks Wellington Harbour and up to the Hutt Valley.
Newlands is an established and important suburban centre, with good links to the central city and to Johnsonville. Population figures from the 2006 Census indicate that there are approximately 9300 people living in Newlands. Statistics New Zealand’s latest population growth figures estimate that there will be approximately 2000 more people living in Newlands by 2031. It is anticipated that the majority of this growth will be accommodated by more medium-density housing, with some of this located in and around the shopping centre.
