Planned developments
Keeping our communities informed is very important to us. The sites below are in the early planning stages and our Stakeholder Relationship Managers will keep you up to date with our plans as they progress.
Community drop-in session postponed
Due to COVID-19 alert levels, we have had to postpone the community drop-in session planned for Tuesday 7 September.
Our apologies, and we will share details of the new date once we are able to safely meet.
To help meet the high demand for housing in Rotorua, 37 new homes are proposed for the vacant 2 hectare land on the corner of Ranolf Street and Malfroy Road in Rotorua, which was purchased by Kāinga Ora in mid-2021.
These modern, warm and dry houses will help provide Rotorua whānau in need of housing with a place to call home.
What’s planned
- 37 one and two-storey new homes
- A mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes for smaller and larger groups of people, including families.
- Eight of the homes would be able to be made accessible
- A community room and shared green space
- All homes would be low maintenance, fully insulated and with double glazing, carpets and curtains
- Each home would have a deck and an easy to maintain and fenced private section with garden area
- Fully landscaped site with natives and plants found locally
- Internal loop road and allocated off-street parking for each home
A section of this land on the very corner of Ranolf Street and Malfroy Road is not included in these plans at this time, while different options to develop it in the future are looked at.

To help meet the strong demand for public housing, we’re looking to redevelop our land at 14-30 Ross Crescent, Fairfield, Hamilton.
We are looking to make better use of our land by building 16 new, warm and healthy two and three-storey homes and apartments. These would replace three existing older homes on large sections which are next to each other.
Combining the three sites provides an opportunity to build a greater number of much needed homes and apartments, which would be similar in height to some others in the area.
What’s planned
- Replacing three existing 1950s homes on three large adjoining sections, with 16 new warm, dry and modern two-storey homes and a three-storey apartment building:
- 6 two-bedroom apartments
- 10 two-storey homes ranging in size from 2-4 bedrooms
- 3 of these homes would be accessible
- The homes and apartments would be similar in height to properties in the area
- Gardens, shared landscaped green spaces and children’s play area
- Planting of specimen trees and native plants
- All homes would be low maintenance, fully insulated and with double glazing, carpets and curtains
- Internal road and 26 off-street parks for the 16 homes
- The homes would be for a range of people, including small and larger families

We are planning to build 80 new homes at 619-631 Evans Bay Parade:
- In July 2020 we shared our initial plans to build 60 homes in three and four-storey buildings, and received feedback from the community and stakeholders.
- Considering the positive feedback received and the high demand in Wellington for more warm, dry and modern homes, we have increased the number of homes planned to be built from 60 to 80.
- There would be 36 one-bedroom and 40 two-bedroom apartments and 4 four-bedroom townhouses.
-
The apartments will be in 6 four and five-storey buildings, with lifts in each apartment block.
View from Evans Bay Parade entrance
- Thirty of the apartments will be fully accessible, and the other 46 apartments will have accessible bathrooms.
- The apartments would be most suited to older people, those with mobility needs, couples and small families.
- All 80 homes will be fully insulated with double glazing, carpets and curtains.
- 30 parking spaces will be provided, including accessible parking.
- There would be a community green space, outdoor seating, raised planter boxes and low maintenance planting.
- There would also be a communal BBQ, laundry room and washing lines.
- The new homes will replace 20 three-bedroom homes built in the 1950s, and which aren’t up to new warm and healthy homes standards.
Next steps
- We are planning to apply for resource consent in mid-2021.
- Subject to consent, work could start in 2022, with completion in 2023.
