What’s happening in Oranga?

Over the next eight years, Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities will be replacing a number of state houses in Oranga with new warm, dry healthy state homes as well as quality affordable houses for

home ownership. Kāinga Ora will also be working together with others to upgrade neighbourhood amenities such as parks and walkways.

Who is responsible for the development?

The project is being led by Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities. As of 1 October 2019, Kāinga Ora brought together the people, capabilities and resources of HLC, Housing New Zealand and KiwiBuild to enable a more cohesive, joined-up approach to support the Government’s priorities for housing and urban development in New Zealand.

residential land in Auckland. Much of this land can be better used to create more homes for Aucklanders. The AHP began in June 2016.

The Oranga Development is part of the Auckland Housing Programme (AHP). The AHP is a government initiative to build more quality homes across Auckland via small, medium and largescale housing developments over the next 10-15 years. The programme will help Auckland develop as a vibrant city by creating more quality homes more quickly. Kāinga Ora is the largest owner of

12,600

Over the next 10–15 years it will create approximately:

11,000 new state homes new, more affordable KiwiBuild and market homes Kāinga Ora’s Urban Development team masterplans and manages the large development projects. Roughly a third of the new homes will be state houses and the other two thirds a mix of more affordable and market homes.

Good planning and design makes great neighbourhoods KÄ inga Ora’s Urban Development team combines the input of the community with the skills of urban designers and engineers to ensure that, as well as adding more houses, we develop neighbourhoods

in ways that are more functional and attractive.

This includes paying attention to infrastructure (like roads and pipes) and amenity (such as parks).

Why has Oranga been chosen for development?

Oranga has been chosen for development because the area has strengths that make it suited to more housing. Oranga has good transport networks, easy access to employment hubs, is close to Onehunga town centre and Auckland’s premier park, Maungakiekie.

During the planning stages of a project we work closely with the community to gather input on what changes will have the most beneficial impact on the area.

What happens to the existing houses?

Old state homes that are no longer fit for purpose will be removed or demolished. Where possible, old houses are relocated to a new area to serve a new purpose.

If we are unable to remove a house (often for safety or practical reasons) our team will recycle as many materials as possible.

Some materials aren’t able to be recycled. This is for a range of reasons, including the presence of asbestos or where materials are in a state of disrepair. We are working across all of our developments to find sustainable, ongoing solutions to do this well.

What will the new homes be like?

The new houses will vary in size from one-bedroom through to six-bedroom family homes and across a range of typologies including terraces, standalone homes, walk-ups and apartments.

Each house will be designed and built to modern standards and will include double glazing, insulation and modern materials and fittings. Homes will also include on-site car parks.

If you’re a state housing tenant and have questions relating to the development please contact your Tenancy Liaison Officer Richard Kamuhemu on 09 261 5119.­ If you have questions relating to your tenancy please contact the Kāinga Ora Customer Services Centre on 0800 801 601.

What about the tenants of existing homes?

At the heart of everything we are doing are the people currently living in Oranga. The development work will require a number of households to relocate so that older state homes can be replaced with new warm, dry homes designed for modern life.

Kāinga Ora has a Tenancy Liaison Team that supports tenants. When tenants do need to relocate the team supports them every step of the way, including finding them a suitable alternative home

which takes into account their housing and school needs and community networks.

Kāinga Ora also arranges the relocation and covers all reasonable costs related to the move. If you are a Kāinga Ora tenant and have not had a sit down meeting with a Tenancy Liaison Officer and been advised that we are beginning site investigations, then you are not currently living in a home affected by the development.
