Paetutu Petone
Located in Petone, Lower Hutt, Paetutu is a community of 56 houses opened in early 2020. The homes, which are now fully occupied, were first offered exclusively to Māori whanau before the general market.
"This is just a very good pattern of occupation of land, it's living close together and very efficient. It's very gentle on infrastructure and energy, so it's the modern answer to a world that's got a lot of questions about sustainability and energy use."
