Waterloo, New Zealand

Waterloo, New Zealand

Waterloo is a suburb east of Lower Hutt, Wellington. It is the home suburb to St. Bernard's College, Chilton Saint James school and one of the leading primary schools in Lower Hutt, simply called "Waterloo School". It is also home to Waterloo Interchange, a major train station and bus depot in the whole of the Wellington region. It also has an unofficial rugby team that mostly consists of teenagers who live around the suburb and play against other "unofficial" rugby teams from neighbouring suburbs such as "Epuni" and "Alicetown".

Notable residents include veteran sportscaster Keith Quinn.

Waterloo is divided at the Waterloo Interchange and goes up until Waiwhetu at it's south, and Fairfield to the north.
