Home & Garden Show Expects Strong Numbers Based on Continued Auckland Growth

Organiser of the Waitakere Home & Garden Show, Daniel Joll, has released a statement confirming that he expects visitor numbers at the Show to grow in coming years after an article in the New Zealand Herald a fortnight ago, where Peter Jeffries, Chief Executive of CORT Community Housing, states that Auckland's housing boom looks set to continue for decades to come.

"In the article, Mr. Jeffries states that Auckland is expected to grow by 75% over the next 30 years. This follows a piece in the Herald earlier, which indicated that Auckland currently needs another 400,000 homes. To date, the Government has announced a total of 120 Special Housing Areas in Auckland, with a combined potential of more than 52,000 new homes. Its great news for the Waitakere Home & Garden Show and any business linked to home improvement", says Mr. Joll.

For three days starting Friday 20 May, over 150 exhibitors will gather at The Trusts Arena to bring homeowners the latest innovations and trends, along with numerous show-only specials. The event will provide variety, bargains and inspiration for show-goers intent on transforming their home surroundings.

"The show is bursting at the seams! We've got a fantastic line-up of heating, but there will also be the latest in landscaping, kitchens, bathrooms, furniture, homewares, builders, solar solutions, flooring, bedding and everything in between. Our visitors keep telling us that they love the fact that it's a one-stop event for any building or DIY project - it makes it so easy that all the products and advice they need is under one roof. Even better, they can make the most of specials that they won't find anywhere else, and this year there is a chance for them to win a $20,000 custom-designed bathroom thanks to Bathroom Direct", says Mr. Joll.

Free daily talks from industry professionals will be provided via the 'Transform Your Space' seminar series. These will give hot tips and advice on gardening, kitchens and bathroom design, solar energy and choosing colour. There will also be a wearable art display featuring a WOW museum entry and past winners/entries from local competitions

Show hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Adult entry costs $8, there is a senior special on the Friday for $5 and children under 16 are free. For more information, visit homeandgardenshow.co.nz
