Poll: What do you think will happen with this development?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Uncertainty surrounds the fate of a controversial 60-home Kāinga Ora development for Flagstaff’s Endeavour Avenue after Housing Minister Chris Bishop’s announcement of a “turnaround plan” for the agency.

Bishop said the turnaround plan would see the agency refocus on “its core mission of building and managing government-owned social housing in a financially sustainable way”.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
