Planned developments
Kāinga Ora is partnering with developers who are building new, modern homes in Tamarau. These developments will help meet the urgent need for public housing in Tairāwhiti.
The new homes will get more whānau out of unsuitable accommodation and into a healthy place to call home. We are looking at the following sites:
- Coldstream Road and Newton Street - 2 three-bedroom homes with 6 more being considered
- Steele Road - 14 more being considered
