Kainga Ora sells Bonair site

The land in Bonair Crescent, Millwater where Kainga Ora had planned to build social housing has been sold to a private developer.

Kainga Ora deputy chief executive Auckland and Northland, Caroline Butterworth, says settlement is scheduled to take place next month.

Kainga Ora had resource consent to build  37 social housing units, a community room and carparks on the  4787sqm site – although this expired last August.

In March this year it decided not to proceed with its plans, which had attracted community opposition, noting that delivering homes on that site was no longer financially viable The land is zoned Single House.
