Historical Notes | The original Manuka Road 'track' was widened, realigned and metalled in 1959. Six years later, city water became available, but it was not until 1974 that drainage reticulation was complete. Prior to the availability of such services occupation was restricted to households living in scattered original farm cottages plus a few courageous families who made do by locating a small bach on their recently-purchased section.
