Te Mauri Paihere ki Mangakootukutuku - Hamilton
“Amohia ake te oranga o te iwi, kia puta ki te wheiao”
The wellbeing of the people is paramount
To help meet the high demand for housing in Hamilton, 47 modern, high-quality and healthy homes and a community centre are proposed to be built on the corner of Ōhaupō Road (SH3) and Collins Road in Hamilton.
The homes are being developed in a unique partnership which reflects the vision of Te Kiingi Tuheitia Pootatau Te Wherowhero VII, alongside Waikato-Tainui, Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities and Ara Poutama Aotearoa – Department of Corrections.
The name Te Mauri Paihere ki Mangakootukutuku can be translated as – 'weaving life principles', and has been gifted by Kiingi Tuheitia. It reflects the safe and caring kaupapa Maaori-led support and environment that will be provided for all living in the village-like community.
