Proposed development on Brenton Place - off kepa Rd
Housing NZ (to use their correct name) are proposing to demolish 6 housing "units" (3 buildings) and replace them with a inappropriately sized 7-storey tower block totalling 49 units
This will be a trojan horse for an eventual 3 blocks totalling 140 units.
This has been non-notified - apart from the school
The school will shortly commence a fundraising drive to procure expert advice.
The whole development will be 100% HNZ tenants which is acknowledged as poor practice - a 1:1:1 mix of HNZ, 3rd rental and private ownership is considered best practice for community cohesion.
Please show your support for the school to stop this ghastly development
