on hold after neighbourhood backlash
Kāinga Ora is putting one of its Auckland social housing developments on hold until the new year, after backlash from the neighbourhood.
The development on Bonair Crescent in the northern suburb of Millwater has been controversial since the beginning, with Kāinga Ora apologising for "missing a step" and not opening the project for community consultation.
The development was initially the construction of two-storey townhouses on Millwater Street and would add 37 two-bedroom social houses to the list.
However, back in June, after complaints and a petition from the community against the social housing development, Kāinga Ora paused the construction before it even started, and opened the project for consultation.
