Woodridge is one of the northern suburbs of Wellington, New Zealand, north of Newlands and Paparangi.
History
The suburb was developed by Wrightway Homes after Norman Wright bought the Newlands dairy farm from JS Meadowcroft (who also owned Broadmeadows) . The family chose trees and wood as a theme, and most streets bear the names of trees. By 2011 about half the planned houses or 200 homes had been built. A land exchange with the WCC allowed for development of a walkway to the Seton Nossiter Park.[2][3]
