WHAT’S HAPPENING ON THE GROUND

Ōwairaka is part of the wider Roskill Development, led by Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities. This large-scale, long-term project is transforming the neighbourhood with modern, warm homes and essential new infrastructure.

When fully complete, the Ōwairaka Development will deliver over 1,000 new homes, replacing approximately 200 existing social homes and creating a vibrant, mixed community.

So far, here’s where we’re at:

A BIG INVESTMENT BENEATH THE STREETS

All physical works across all four stages of the Ōwairaka Development are now complete, enabling over 1,150 homes in total. Significant improvements include:

• A $34 million stormwater network, built where none previously existed.
• Separation of stormwater from the wastewater system, greatly reducing the risk of flooding and sewer overflows.

• Major underground services now future-proof the neighbourhood for decades to come.

HOMES DELIVERED AND ON THE WAY

• 450+ new homes completed so far:
   - Approximately 180 social homes
   - Around 280 market homes
• Around 350 homes are currently under construction.
• The builders will begin, complete and make more market homes available to buy in 2026.
• All market land is now fully contracted across 11 development partners.

LOOKING AHEAD

Ōwairaka will continue to take shape as a modern, well-connected and resilient neighbourhood, with homes and infrastructure working together to support a thriving community.
