Estate named

The new subdivision on 84 Falls Road is officially named Waiwhiu Estate thanks to some creative thinking from Warkworth School student Elyse Brown, 10.

Bayleys ran a competition at the school to name the new subdivision and received 40 entries.

Elyse chose the name because the property looks towards the Waiwhiu ranges (pictured) in the Dome Valley. She was presented with a cheque for $100 by subdivision owner Annette Kann.

Elyse plans to put the money towards buying a kid-sized electric car. It was a complete surprise on an otherwise ordinary Thursday for Elyse, whose dad told her it would be special day, but didn’t say why.
