Korokoro is a suburb of Lower Hutt City situated at the bottom of the North Island of New Zealand. The suburb is located on the western hills of the Hutt Valley overlooking Petone and the Wellington harbour.
Korokoro was established in the 1900s by the Liberal government, and was a relatively small settlement until the Lower Hutt City Council developed the area for private housing in the 1960s.[2]
