New Kāinga Ora state housing development in Raumati/Paraparaumu

Glen Olsen from Parapraumu Community Board

"The Paraparaumu Community Board has learnt that Kāinga Ora recently signed an agreement with Gibbons and Co. confirming their intention to purchase 26 two and three-bedroom homes at 112 Old Main Road Ramauti (Old SH1).

The developer is responsible for managing all aspects of the consenting and construction process, including site preparation and delivery of the new homes.

The residences will consist of 15 two-bedroom and 11 three-bedroom homes, fully insulated, with carpets, curtains and double glazing. Each home will have a private, low-maintenance garden and two shared community gardens in the heart of the development. These new state homes are expected to be ready for local people and families to move into by late 2025.

Kāinga Ora has been working collaboratively with the developer Gibbons and Co. to ensure the homes will best meet the needs of the people and families who will live there and the community. "

We hope Kāinga Ora will stay to their word, with priority given to local people and families in need, above others relocated from outside our district.

While this development is in Ramuati, it falls under the Paraparaumu Community Board; thank you to the Raumati Community Board for sending over the information.

Our board and the Ramuati Community Board will continue to monitor this development.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

The vernal (spring) equinox (equal night) occurred at 12.43 this morning when the sun crossed the equator into our hemisphere. It’s the time when day and night are of approximately equal length. It also means sunrise was due east and sunset will be due west.

Kāpiti’s spring was particularly early this year with most of the springing being done in August, largely due to mild night temperatures, but has turned out slightly cooler than average and much wetter.

The painting below, Spring, is by Botticelli and is one of the most famous in western art. I doubt you’ll find these goings-on in Waikanae Park though.
