Get Involved – June 1st to 30th 🤝
This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.
As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

New Kāinga Ora state housing development in Raumati/Paraparaumu
"The Paraparaumu Community Board has learnt that Kāinga Ora recently signed an agreement with Gibbons and Co. confirming their intention to purchase 26 two and three-bedroom homes at 112 Old Main Road Ramauti (Old SH1). The developer is responsible for managing all aspects of the consenting and construction process, including site preparation and delivery of the new homes.
The residences will consist of 15 two-bedroom and 11 three-bedroom homes, fully insulated, with carpets, curtains and double glazing. Each home will have a private, low-maintenance garden and two shared community gardens in the heart of the development. These new state homes are expected to be ready for local people and families to move into by late 2025.
Kāinga Ora has been working collaboratively with the developer Gibbons and Co. to ensure the homes will best meet the needs of the people and families who will live there and the community. "
We hope Kāinga Ora will stay to their word, with priority given to local people and families in need, above others relocated from outside our district.
While this development is in Ramuati, it falls under the Paraparaumu Community Board; thank you to the Raumati Community Board for sending over the information.
Our board and the Ramuati Community Board will continue to monitor this development.
