34 per cent increase in Auckland property values

Auckland Council’s latest property valuations released today, 8 March 2022, show significant movements across the region, with an average value increase of 34 per cent.

The updated values reflect the likely price a property would have sold for as at 1 June 2021, and will be used to determine the share of rates for the next rating year starting 1 July 2022/2023.  

The local board with the largest increase in this revaluation is Aotea Great Barrier, showing a 59 per cent average increase.

The other local board areas with the largest movements are in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, Henderson-Massey and Maungakiekie-Tāmaki, all of which have seen average increases between 41 and 49 per cent. These areas have all undergone intensification in recent years, and these movements demonstrate the impact of this.

Māori home ownership prioritised through Housing Foundation partnership in Mangere

Kāinga Ora are thrilled to partner with New Zealand Housing Foundation (Housing Foundation) to deliver affordable homes for Māori whānau in Mangere West. For over twenty years, New Zealand Housing Foundation has helped hundreds of families into home ownership.
 

An exciting new partnership between Kāinga Ora and Housing Foundation was finalised late last year which will see the delivery of around 70 affordable homes as part of the Mangere Development in Mangere West.

Mangere’s multi-phase development will mean more quality affordable homes built over the next 10-15 years with upgrades to local infrastructure and amenities.

Housing Foundation has committed to delivering at least 70% (a minimum of 50 homes) under their affordable housing model. They aim to ensure at least 30% of the affordable homes (a minimum 15 homes) will be sold to Māori whānau.

Major Taupō housing subdivision moves one step closer to approval

A proposal to convert a rural block of land in Taupō into a residential subdivision that could see the building of almost 800 new homes is one step closer to approval.

The Taupō District Council has voted to accept a recommendation to approve a private District Plan change to rezone 77.79ha of land in Nukuhau from a rural environment into a mix of general and medium density residential zones.

The land is located to the west of Acacia Bay Rd, near Lakewood Dr, and north of Poihipi Rd, where it joins Wairakei Dr.
