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.
Auckland
This site was purchased with Resource Consent and Building Consents in place for 38 proposed 2 level walk-up apartments in Silverdale. Millwater is a recent residential development located in the Silverdale area of North Auckland and constructed over the last 20 years. The development was designed to enable a range of transport modes, a range of medium density housing outcomes with a range of residential services and community facilities nearby.
Engaging with the community
We have heard from a part of the community a feeling of being taken by surprise over Kāinga Ora plans for 153 Bonair Crescent and upset that we didn’t get in touch with the whole community sooner. We agree that we should have talked with the community much earlier than we did, and we acknowledge this.
We want to start over and engage properly with the community.
We have suspended any decision about how we progress the site so we can genuinely listen and understand your aspirations for the area.
In our experience, most Kāinga Ora customers are positive members of their communities, but we acknowledge some residents are opposed to public housing. There are also many people we have not yet heard from, and we want to understand their views.
Kāinga Ora will continue to keep residents informed throughout the engagement process, and we will ensure there will be plenty of opportunities for us to hear from everyone concerned.
Engaging with Mana Whenua
We will continue to engage with Mana Whenua on our plans and involve them to identify and provide for Maori interest
