Privately owned gully. It is described as Pt Town Belt, Town of Wellington, comprising 0.4176ha and sec 1226, Town of Wellington, comprising 0.4221ha. The land was included in the Town Belt Deed conveyed to the Council in terms of the 1873 deed. However, in 1931, the Crown under Act of Parliament took the land for educational purposes. It is zoned part Outer Residential and part Open Space B.

It offers some landscape value to local residents, but not significant to enhance the visual character of Aro Street/CBD. It has limited recreational values. This land was not part of the originally envisaged Town Belt. Belt. This is Council-owned reserve land that is covered in regenerating bush in the gully below Norway Street. It is near existing Town Belt. This land is made up of the privately owned undeveloped gully being the residential properties in Hadfield Terrace. This land is owned by the Crown and used by the Ministry of Education. It is included in the Port Nicholson Block Claims Settlement Act 2009 and the Trust has the first right of refusal if the land is declared surplus. It is situated at the top of Abel Smith Street. Te Aro School uses about one third of the land. The rest of the land is made up of a 6000sq m steep gully bounded on the east by Te Aro School and on the west by the rear of properties on Devon Street. There is a track linking the school, Boyd Wilson Field and Devon St. The vegetation is mixed exotic trees, including sycamore and large pines, with an understory of natives and exotic shrubs. The TBMP 1995 identified this land as potential additions. The TBMP 1995 identified this land as potential additions. The TBRP 1998 policy options for this land include: Option 1. Seek the return to Town Belt status of the area not occupied by Te Aro School. Seek agreement for the return of the school land when the school activity ceases. Option2: Seek all of the land for Town Belt purposes. Lease back to the school the area currently occupied by the school for peppercorn rental. There is no doubt that the area not occupied by the school should be sought by the Council for return to Town belt status. The land is heavily vegetated and significantly enhances the setting and enjoyment of surrounding residents. This land does immediately adjoin existing Town Belt land and is perceived to already be Town belt. Although offering local landscape values and limited recreational potential, it makes operational logic to incorporate this land into the Town Belt. This land lies below the residential properties in Hadfield Terrace and Kelburn Parade. Although bordering existing Town belt, they provide only local landscape value and have little significance in enhancing the continuity of the Town Belt’s horseshoe. The recreational values are limited and they are not part of the originally envisaged Town Belt. This land is very isolated from any existing Town Belt lands. Its small scale, location, and aspect add little value in strengthening the Town Belt’s continuity and horseshoe shape. It does provide some local landscape value to Aro Street. It has low recreational and ecological values. It was included in the Town Belt Deed 1873 but taken out by the Crown in 1931 for educational purposes. This land should be added to the Town Belt. The Council will not pursue acquisitions of these lands. Council will initiate discussions with PNSBT over the future of this land. Low priority for Council at market value.

The TBRP states: The access strip to the Boyd Wilson fields shall be removed from Town Belt status ... and either kept as a public accessway or sold to the University or Te Aro School.
