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.

-
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.
