From our central location next to the Newtown Library, we provide free internet access, basic computing classes, computer support and advice to the public, six days a week. Did we mention it’s all FREE?

How do we do this, you ask?

Smart Newtown was launched in October 2002 as a joint project between Wellington City Council, Wellington Region Economic Development Agency and the Wellington Region 2020 Communications Trust.

It began as a pilot scheme to offer computer access and training to Wellington communities. A particular focus was for who may not otherwise have access to the growing opportunities computer experience provides.
