Waingākau Village Papakāinga
Waingākau is a visionary mixed tenure housing development of 82 new conventional houses and large greenspace for generational community housing in West Flaxmere, Hastings.
"Our ideal is to try to provide better, high quality, insulated homes so that we can address some of those longer-term conditions that tend to come out of those areas and they turn up on our front door requiring medical attention so this is not only about housing, it is also about their health, it is about their well being, it is about us being able to provide them with a pathway."
