20 Oct 2026
Oranga Progress Update header image October 1

A GROWING NEIGHBOURHOOD

The Oranga Development is well underway, transforming the area with new, modern homes, safer streets and upgraded infrastructure. Over time, around 400 existing social homes will be replaced with approximately 1,300 new homes, including a mixture of social homes and homes to buy on the open market. 

MORE SOCIAL HOMES ON THE WAY

Construction of the next stage of social homes across Oranga is progressing well, with several superlots set to start from October 2026. Together, they will deliver 78 new social homes across Edmonton Avenue, Gambia Place, Mount Smart Road, Santos Place, Waitangi Road, Nissan Place and Roosevelt Avenue.

Construction will be staged over the next two years, with the first homes expected to be completed in April 2027.

ON THE MARKET NOW

Elaman has opened its sales suite on the corner of Oranga Avenue and Olea Road. Visit between 10am and 11am on Sundays to chat with the team about the new townhouses, due for completion in November 2026. Further info on the homes for sale here.

Field Homes is welcoming pre-sales for its Roosevelt Rise development of 15 townhouses. The first six homes will be completed in November 2026, with a further nine coming in early 2027. For more information about Roosevelt Rise, click here.

GARDENS FOR THE COMMUNITY 

The Oranga Compost Hub and Community Garden has found a new home at Fergusson Domain, and it's already growing into a much-loved local space. With support from Kāinga Ora, Tāmaki WRAP worked with Watercare to connect a water main to the garden, so the new plantings have the water they need to settle in and thrive.

The move was celebrated with a blessing, with the community gathering to welcome the garden to its new home. Since then, neighbours have been rolling up their sleeves at planned and spontaneous working bees.

Want to be part of it? Follow Tāmaki WRAP on Facebook for volunteer days, working bees and upcoming events. There's always room for another pair of hands.
