About us
Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities lead the largest urban regeneration programme in New Zealand’s history. We use our country’s precious land well, deliver quality homes quickly and build communities with a sense of belonging.
Who we are
In 2019 Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities was established to bring together the people, capabilities and resources of Housing New Zealand, KiwiBuild and HLC.
Kāinga Ora Urban Development team is leading a multi-billion dollar urban regeneration programme that transform suburbs and communities across the country. Our vision is to increase the supply and choice of new, high-quality housing, and to support and strengthen communities as they grow. We achieve this by partnering with industry, the local community, and agencies such as Auckland and Porirua Councils, Auckland Transport, local Iwi and the Ministry of Education.
Frequently Asked Questions
Some of the common questions we are asked about our Developments are answered here. If you’d like to know more please contact us.
How is it going to change the area?
You can expect an increase in the supply and choice of available housing, including new and improved amenities and infrastructure. This will attract more people to the area, providing more customers for local businesses and greater contribution to local schools and community organisations.
What happens to social housing tenants?
We are replacing old social houses with healthy homes. A dedicated tenancy liaison team will work with current tenants to find them an alternative social house. Tenants are supported throughout the process and all reasonable costs associated with their move will be covered.
What kind of houses will be built?
There will be apartments, terraced homes and standalone homes – one-bedroom to six-bedroom family homes. A range of housing types and sizes will cater for a variety of family demographics, stages of life and price brackets. There’s a home suitable for everyone.
Who is running the project?
Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities is running the project. We work with agencies such as Auckland Transport, Auckland Council and the Ministry of Education to make the most of opportunities to improve infrastructure and facilities for the greater Roskill area.
