Yes it is neutral but you have two clubs based in the south and east of Wellington travelling to the north.
I guess Newtown is out of play due to Athletics.
At least it is on grass.
Somewhere along the line NZ Football has to recognise that turf is not suitable for top level football.Its fine for recrational football but at a high level (not sure where the cut off should be -perhaps Capital 2 -) all games should be played on grass.
i'm resident in Auckland and even the worst grass pitches are better than any turf i have seen. Apart from their inherent faults , there is a major problem of maintenance.
