My own personal view is they are worth attending as there are many stands including emigration, banking, real estates, moving companies and many more with some very useful information. You will leave with your heads buzzing and bags of brochures
We have chosen to live on Kapiti coast(Paraparaumu) for the location and the children’s ages, and so far happy after touring round Wellington surroundings this weekend. I think most people will agree that you choose the area most suitable to your family needs. For instance if my children were young and not at the age of self care, I may have chosen nearer to Wellington less on the commuting time to be there for younger children.
One last note is that any questions you have there will always be someone to help on the forum, so you have made the right first move
Good Luck

Thanks Sparrows.
We had a look at wellington and the surrounding areas. I saw a number of houses in and around the Paraparaumu area, however thought there would be a fair travel to work in wellington.
We really want to live close to a city but somewhere quiet enough, so we can enjoy being close to a beach and so that the kids have alot of space to run around and play. Our kids are 7 and 9 years old. But we are still not sure where is the best place!
How long does it take you to travel from Paraparaumu to wellington?
Also are there schools in that area?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks, Caz xx
