Westlake Drive in Halswell – In the Oaklands subdivision. First appears in street directories in 1991. A tiny amount of information from the library website.
This area of Halswell was built around an artificial lake in Westlake Reserve. Westlake Drive runs past the reserve and most houses were built in 1990s but the houses at Dunbars Rd end were built in 1980s. The more interesting houses are between Dunbars Rd and the reserve. Couldn’t find much information online and this wasn’t helped by a new subdivision in the north of Christchurch also called Oaklands. I walked this street about 10 days ago when I was geocaching in the area. I did like many of the houses here and it would be pleasant being able to walk in the reserve. I can remember when there were very few houses in this area.
