The purpose of the scheme is to avoid overcrowding at the school and to:

Western and Southern Boundary: Horokiwi Road (including van der Velden Way) and the northern edge of the Wellington Harbour. N.B. Any street whose only exit or exits is on to a  street named in the zone as defined above shall be deemed part of the Hutt Valley High School zone.
