24 new Ka¯inga Ora homes under development in Te Puke
Twenty-four new homes are to be built by Ka¯ inga Ora in Te Puke by two developer partners.
There will be four three-bedroom homes at 5 Gisborne Rd, five twobedroom homes at 107 Boucher Ave, 11 two-bedroom double-storey duplex and terrace homes at 180-182 Boucher Ave and four two-bedroom homes at 6 Princes St.
“These mostly two-bedroom houses will be a mix of single- and double-storey, and will have off-street parking and fenced, easy-care outdoor areas,” says Darren Toy, Ka¯inga Ora’s Bay of Plenty regional director.
“We’re pleased to have work under way or soon to start at the four sites where these are being built by our developer partners Wolfbrook Residential and Archispace Developments, and I look forward to Ka¯inga Ora taking ownership of the first of these houses early next year.
“With around 110 family groups currently on the housing register in Te Puke, these homes will be welcomed by those most in need of housing in the fast-growing western Bay of Plenty.”
The finished homes will be in a range of cladding in natural toned colours, fully insulated, with double glazing, carpets and curtains.
Ka¯inga Ora will match homes to people and wha¯nau on the housing register, with priority given to those in greatest need, and considering
work, wha¯nau, education and other factors.
The homes would be suitable for a range of people, including couples and small families.
Ka¯inga Ora helps its customers settle into their new home and wider community. A key focus is to ensure tenants understand their responsibilities, and that includes being good neighbours and connecting with their communities.
Ka¯inga Ora works to ensure its tenants are supported and helps them connect to support services if needed.
Customers look after their own property and grounds, with maintenance of the homes and the wider development the responsibility of Ka¯inga Ora as the landlord.
