We’re pleased to share that earthworks and civil construction are now complete at Trackside Stage 9D, and titles have been issued. With sites fully prepared, we’re now in full swing with home construction in Stage 9D, and progress is moving at pace.
At Stage 9C, house construction is now complete — a significant delivery milestone for the project and a strong reflection of the team’s ability to bring quality homes through to completion.
The hard-filled, clean site conditions in Stage 9D have enabled strong build momentum, and we expect the first settlements to commence shortly. These will continue through to November, when the final homes are scheduled for completion.
Seeing the homes now coming together around the racecourse, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The mix of housing, along with the additional landscaping and space between homes, is creating a visually appealing community that sits comfortably within the wider Wallaceville Estate environment.
Sales activity remains strong as we approach completion, with homes continuing to sell through the final stages. If you know anyone considering a move to the area or looking for an investment opportunity, we’d love to hear from them.
Looking ahead, completion of Stage 9D will also enable the opening of Mawai Hakona Road and mark the final stages of the Wallaceville Estate development coming together.

Construction is tracking well at Trackside, with several homes having completed their final inspections and are now awaiting the issuance of titles. Once titles are issued, Upper Hutt City Council will release the Code Compliance Certificates (CCC) for the inspected homes. Our clients will settle 10 working days following the issue of the CCC.
Ready lawn, planting, and touch-ups are in full swing as we move into spring. Our construction team will be in touch soon to arrange pre-settlement inspections.
Lots 52–55 flooring is largely completed, bathrooms are progressing well, and final fix work is underway. The electrical team is also making steady progress across these homes. Lots 41–48, the cladding looks fantastic, and we’ll see scaffolding starting to come down shortly. Lots 37–40 Gibbing, stairs, and plastering are now underway as these homes continue to take shape.

Progress is moving quickly at the Trackside development. The survey plan has been lodged with Land Information New Zealand, and the remaining documents to complete titles are expected shortly.
On-site, framing is advancing across Stage 9C, with first-storey frames now in place on Lots 31–33. Glazing, RAB board, and roofs are complete on several lots, thanks to fine weather. Inside, plastering, painting, and kitchen installations are underway, with Lots 61 and 62 leading the way and final inspections soon to be booked with Upper Hutt City Council. Clients will be notified directly once inspections are scheduled.
Final inspections for our first homes are now complete, and Code of Compliance Certificates will follow once titles are issued. Titles are tracking well, with the last part lodged with LINZ and expected within the next few weeks.
Landscaping is progressing, with paths, patios, and driveways laid on Lots 52–61; topsoil and ready lawn will be added closer to settlement. Painting, plastering, and kitchens are progressing inside Lots 43–48, while cladding is nearly complete on several exteriors, with painting mostly remaining.
Construction is tracking very well, and Stage 9C is now nearly sold out.

Stage 9C is now fully under construction, with Lots 31–62 at various stages — from in-slab plumbing and slab pours to bathroom installations and flooring prep. Painting is nearly complete on Lots 56–62, with plastering underway on Lots 56–58 and painting started on Lots 59–60. Gib installation is about to begin on Lots 52–55, and kitchens are being installed in Lots 53–55.
On the exterior, glazing, roofing, cladding, and building wrap are progressing well, while slabs, drainage, and services continue across the site. Framing is advancing on Lots 37–40, and landscaping teams are setting out fencing, driveways, and pathways on Lots 61 and 62 despite challenging weather.
With so many homes moving closer to completion, Stage 9C is really starting to take shape.

Recent weeks have seen more frames, slabs, and the first kitchens in our Type Q homes. It's always exciting when interiors start to come together, and these homes are beginning to feel like real homes. Our civil teams are working hard to install the services to Stage 9D, with our construction teams following closely behind. It's been a rewarding few weeks onsite, and we appreciate the excitement and support from our future homeowners as construction progresses.
Stage 9C is also progressing well, with 30 homes at various stages. Slabs are complete on Lots 37–42, frames are rising on Lots 43–45, and roof trusses are going up. Once roofs are on, interior work — including electrical, plumbing, and RAB board installation — can proceed efficiently alongside exterior cladding. Inside, Gib installation is complete on Lots 57–60, and plastering is underway on Lots 61 and 62.
