And they are just part of a huge boost for properties across all areas of the district, which have almost doubled or tripled in capital value.

On Oakura's Messenger Tce, 15 properties now have a capital value of more than $1 million, while on Bell Block's Wanaka Tce one property had passed the million-dollar mark.

On New Plymouth's waterfront Woolcoombe Tce, six properties are valued at more than $1 million, along with three on nearby Octavius Pl. Across in Fitzroy, two properties on Hamblyn St are valued in excess of $1 million.
