Vision for
Ōwairaka

The work happening in Ōwairaka is part of the wider Roskill Development being managed by Kāinga Ora. The vision for Ōwairaka is to increase the number of high-quality homes available to buy or rent, including state homes for Aucklanders who need housing assistance. The development in Ōwairaka will replace approximately 200 old state homes with 1,000 + new warm, dry, healthy homes. 

At the same time, key neighbourhood infrastructure and amenities will be upgraded so that community spaces and essential services are future proofed for generations to come. Renovating the neighbourhood will make Ōwairaka an even better place to live. 

The new Kāinga Ora state homes and the market and more affordable homes are designed and built to modern standards and will include double glazing, insulation and modern materials and fittings inside and out. All plans go through an urban design review process to ensure they meet a high standard of design quality. There will be a mixture of standalone homes, terraces and apartments.
