Wellington region
With the strong and increasing demand for housing in the Wellington region, Kāinga Ora is working on a large build programme.
Community engagement
We recognise that people have different preferences for how they engage with us. That's why we offer various options, including one-on-one conversations, online resources, mailouts, or emails. This flexibility ensures everyone can access information in a way that suits them best. Our goal is to make sure everyone feels heard and informed, regardless of the method they choose to engage with us.
We have some helpful Wellington regional information [PDF, 9.8 MB] to provide an overview of our work in the area. You can also check out our latest e-newsletter and if you're interested in receiving future updates subscribe below. As new developments begin you may receive one of our New homes coming postcards [PDF, 630 KB] or see a signage board [PDF, 3.4 MB] on a property.
We attend existing community events regularly across the region to enable neighbours and community to speak with us in person and learn more about our work programme, and ask questions like:
- How sites are identified for new housing.
- Our design, planning and construction processes.
- How we place people into homes and manage our housing.
- How we support customers to live well in their homes and community.
