Welcome to the Kāinga Ora Community Newsletter
Nelson-Tasman, May 2025
Welcome to the Kāinga Ora community newsletter for the Nelson-Tasman region. This newsletter provides updates about the Kāinga Ora homes planned for this region.
You are receiving this newsletter as you have previously shown an interest in Kāinga Ora developments. If you do not want to receive future updates, please hit the 'unsubscribe' button at the bottom of this email.
Our newsletters include new updates to projects since the previous newsletter, which was in December 2024. Between newsletters or for an overview of each project, you can keep up to date by visiting our Nelson-Tasman website.
What's happening in your Neighbourhood?
Kāinga Ora is continuing to deliver social housing projects across the region.
In our last newsletter we shared that some of our social housing developments were under assessment, while we confirmed our Build programme for the next two years.
As decisions have been made, we have updated, and will continue to update, the information on our interactive maps (Nelson and Tasman) and the upcoming newsletters. If a site is still showing as under assessment, this means no decisions have been made about that particular site.
Where a project has changed from being under assessment to proceeding, it means we are now progressing with the design phase of the project, which will be followed by the resource consent stage. This may include a redesign of previous site designs communicated for a site.
Please note: Like all developers, our plans can change as we progress through planning and consenting processes, and in some cases, the project may not proceed.
