Stratum Consultants Ltd is proud to assist the Nga Potiki a Tamapahore Trust (an entity of Nga Potiki hapu) to develop their land in Papamoa.
Stratum Consultants Ltd applied for and obtained subdivision and land use consent approvals for Nga Potiki under the Special Housing Accord legislation. This included input from our highly capable and experienced resource management planners, civil engineers, geotechnical engineers and land surveyors.
From the outset it was important to Nga Potiki that, in addition to meeting commercial objectives, any development of the site is undertaken in a way that is socially, culturally and environmentally responsible.
The master planning undertaken for the proposed development realised an affordable residential housing development of 200+ lots that will be available to the public but will also provide for specific outcomes for Nga Potiki. A portion of the developed sites will be retained by the Trust and made available to members of the iwi with a range of social housing and tenure types, including Kaumatua housing for 20 units, rental housing, and licences to occupy. Significant land will also be set aside for conservation and cultural purposes. In addition an area is intended to be developed as a Retirement Village. Some non-residential facilities are envisaged to support the neighbourhood scale development, including some limited scale retail opportunities.
Stratum Consultants Ltd looks forward to continuing to work on this project and congratulate Nga Potiki on this exciting high quality and socially, culturally and environmentally responsible development.
