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”.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
