Call us today The approved development achieves a significant milestone for Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou by enabling them to support their whanau on their whenua through providing long-term housing options centred around a shared community space within close proximity to existing support services on the site. A range of housing types and typologies are provided across the 48-dwelling scheme, including Kaumatua housing, two-storey duplexes and three-storey walk-up apartments to cater for a broad range of needs and ages. The shared community space at the centre of the proposal, in addition to extensive landscaping, and separated pedestrian paths, will further foster a vibrant and thriving residential community.
We also want to thank the consultant team from Pacific Environments, Flowpath Engineering Consultants, SJP Landscape Architect, Land Development and Engineering Consultants (LDE), Traffic Planning Consultants (TPC), Initia Geotechnical Specialists and Scope Investigations for their work on this project.
The proposal will provide a significant boost to Gisborne’s housing supply and deliver much needed homes for Te Runanganui o Ngati Porou now and into the future. We look forward to seeing this residential community come to life and the positive impact it will bring.
Thank you to Pacific Environments for supplying the render images.

The development was designed to ensure the most efficient use of the land to allow for additional housing supply by providing a high quality internal and external residential environment for future residents and was constructed in a modular fashion. The site is accessed directly from Tonar Street, with onsite parking internalised behind the building.
The overall development makes a strong and positive contribution to the emerging urban form of Northcote and Lake Road itself
The village comprises three new apartment buildings providing 276 new homes with wrap-around support services, shared community, retail, and workspaces.
Te Mātāwai is designed with manaakitanga at its heart and with support and shared services for residents. A range of apartment typologies are provided to meet housing needs and the building has been designed to wrap around a communal open space area to the rear with additional rooftop shared spaces.
The buildings provide a strong and active edge to Greys Avenue with new commercial, community, and retail ground floor uses. The site is located close to the Waihorotiu Stream, and this has been woven into the design which has sought to reflect the mauri and tikanga of the wai.
The buildings are now complete and welcoming residents.
