53 new homes to be built in Cannons Creek

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Construction of a new state housing area, featuring landscaped sections and balconies, is due to begin in Porirua early next year. Porirua City Council has granted Housing New Zealand resource consent to develop 53 two-storey dwellings, ranging in size between one and five bedrooms, in eastern Porirua’s Castor Loop area on a plot that has been empty for nine years.

The development will be part of a wider building programme that will see Wellington's state housing stock increase by as many as 145 homes, with even more planned for the rest of the country. A Housing NZ spokesman said the organisation planned to hold further meetings to update the community, following an initial design meeting back in March.
