500 + homes planned for development in Avondale

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, more than 500 houses will be built in Avondale, replacing a vacant lot and 42 occupied Kāinga Ora homes.

The 1.58 hectare block on Avondale’s Racecourse Parade will be developed by Marutūāhu-Ockham Group, after Eke Panuku Development Auckland signed a sale and development agreement.

The development block includes two sites on the street. One has been vacant for years, while the other has 42 Kāinga Ora houses on it.

Eke Panuku said it had negotiated the purchase of the second site with Kāinga Ora and had agreed to settle in 2024 to give the agency time to relocate the people living there.

What do you think about the development? Feel free to discuss below.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
