Alicetown is a central suburb of Lower Hutt located at the bottom of the North Island of New Zealand. The suburb is situated north of the major suburb of Petone and west of the Lower Hutt CBD.
Its boundaries are the Ewen Bridge that crosses the Hutt River, New Zealand to the east, the Western Hutt Rd/Melling Railway track to the west and Wakefield St/Hutt Railway track to the south.
Beginning as a farming settlement, Alicetown was settled from the early 1900s by Petone factory workers.[2]
