Bay of Plenty region

To deliver more warm and dry homes in areas of high demand, Kāinga Ora is replacing older state houses with a greater number of new and modern homes, and partnering with developers and others to build on new land.

Bay of Plenty housing developments

Kāinga Ora state housing projects are under assessment while we review our social housing delivery pipeline, with a focus on best value for money and areas of greater social housing need. As decisions are made we will keep our partners and the community up to date.

Community engagement

Keeping neighbours and the wider community informed during housing developments is important to us. In the Bay of Plenty we do this by:

Delivering letters to neighbours to let them know what is planned near them
Having interactive maps which show how many homes are planned, size and height, and expected completion
Holding drop-in sessions so people can speak with us in person, and learn about:
- How sites are identified for new housing
- Design, planning and construction processes
- How people are placed into homes, and maintenance of the houses
- How Kāinga Ora supports customers to live well in their homes, as part of their community.
Putting information signs up at sites where homes are under construction.
