Te Marua

Te Marua

Te Marua is the most northern urban suburb of Upper Hutt. The usual resident population in the 2006 census was 1,068; for reasons of location and distance from the city, the area is often classified as rural. Te Marua is well known for its Plateau Reserve where remnants of the old Rimutaka Railway path can be found, which now form part of an historic walk. It is also the location of the Wellington Speedway, a nationally important venue for stock car racing.

Te Marua is situated on State Highway 2, and is the last significant township (and shop) on the road before it reaches the head of the Hutt Valley and crosses the Rimutaka Range into the Wairarapa. Te Marua is situated in the original flood-plain of the Hutt River and parts (particularly the Golf course) have been subject to flooding.

Te Marua residents are represented by the local community body, the Upper Hutt Rural Residents Association.
