The Government has bought more than four hectares of vacant land at Kāpiti Coast’s Raumati Beach to build about 100 new public houses for the area.
It has spent $10 million to buy the 4.6-hectare vacant plot of land on Raumati Rd. Plans for the number and type of homes are still being developed but the Government is hoping to address the historically low levels of public housing in Kāpiti.
“This purchase will ultimately mean more families have a place to call home and demonstrates our commitment to resolving the housing challenges facing the Kāpiti Coast District,” said Housing Minister Megan Woods.
“It is clear that we need to take further steps to address housing in the region, and by tackling it now, we can prevent problems that will potentially compound and worsen in the coming years.”
The Kāpiti Coast District has a long problem of unaffordable housing. A housing stocktake by the district council earlier this year showing housing prices were skyrocketing and people were sacrificing necessities for rent.
It also found out there were not enough public housing available for a growing waitlist – demand doubled each year from 2016 to 2020.
As of June, 195 families were on the waiting list for public homes, but the number could be unrepresentative of demand as many don’t put themselves on the register.
Māori households were twice as likely to be living in social housing in the district.
The Government’s purchase follows Kāinga Ora opening public housing for the first time in two years in October by completing two new houses in Paraparaumu’s Kaitawa Cres. A further two houses were expected to be open at nearby Hinemoa St by the end of the year.
“Kāinga Ora will continue to work closely with Kāpiti District Council, local iwi and local residents on how best to make sure these homes support the local community and new residents,” Woods also said.
Kāpiti Coast mayor Janet Holborow said she welcomed any Government initiative that would help the district fix its housing issues.
“The need for a range of social housing solutions, particularly in the wake of Covid-19, far outpaces current supply locally,” she said.
“We know that housing stress in Kāpiti is widespread and negatively impacting a range of wellbeing factors like education, community connectedness and employment.”
The district council’s Housing Strategy, which was approved in May, also said it would review existing council land to see if more social housing could be built and actively work with housing providers and iwi to explore development opportunities.

Selling as we purchased for our son to operate, however due to health problems, he hasn’t been able to do so.
We are frequently asked if are able to give appointments, from people passing by, so it shouldn’t be difficult to set up a profitable small business.
Operate as a mobile wash, or park up at home and have people bring their dogs to you.
There are other rust patches that could do with a tidy up, and could also do with a paint.
Great little business for a student who loves dogs.

For Waikanae Beach it is the Waikanae Baptist Church in Te Moana Road and for us up in Waikanae Central, East and North it is the Waikanae Memorial Hall.
A group of us met Renee Corlett there a few weeks ago and she reiterated that there won't be lots of official looking people waiting for us at the hub in the event of a major emergency, just residents to start with! Some of us will be able to bring skills and resources, some comfort and blankets, some will desperately need help and advice....
Please do come along on Saturday 3rd December - you can be a "victim" or a helper - and find out how you can help -
It will be a great way to see how a community can work together! 😊😊😊
