Birth House/Whare Kōwhanga in the Hutt Valley -  Community Discussions - Register Your Interest
In November 2022 it was announced that the Birthing Centre in Te Awa Kairangi / Lower Hutt will be reopening as a Transitional Care Unit in June 2023 for babies and new parents that need special care, which is a positive outcome for those whānau that need this support. There was discussion that there may be 2 rooms available for birthing at the transitional care unit, but details are yet to be confirmed. We welcome anything and will support it, but this is not what we had hoped for.  As June 2023 has long past now, and there is no transitional unit, and no birthing rooms, we are in the early stages of talking about a community owned and led Birth House/Whare Kōwhanga at Wesley Rātā Village in Naenae. We are delighted with the very positive signals from Te Ati Awa about having a birth centre at the headwaters of their awa and look forward to exploring how partnerships with Te Ati Awa and Wesley Community Action may develop.
