500 + homes planned for development in Avondale

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, more than 500 houses will be built in Avondale, replacing a vacant lot and 42 occupied Kāinga Ora homes.

The 1.58 hectare block on Avondale’s Racecourse Parade will be developed by Marutūāhu-Ockham Group, after Eke Panuku Development Auckland signed a sale and development agreement.

The development block includes two sites on the street. One has been vacant for years, while the other has 42 Kāinga Ora houses on it.

Eke Panuku said it had negotiated the purchase of the second site with Kāinga Ora and had agreed to settle in 2024 to give the agency time to relocate the people living there.

What do you think about the development? Feel free to discuss below.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
