What's changing in Cannons Creek
The plans and projects most likely to affect Cannons Creek.
Te Rā Nui, the eastern Porirua regeneration programme, is renewing state housing and building new homes across eastern Porirua. In Cannons Creek, work includes a new park and wetland, and upgraded wastewater and stormwater pipes.
What it could mean: better parks, infrastructure and housing over time, which should help the suburb's appeal.
The Reserve Bank's next Official Cash Rate decision. The rate is 2.75% after rises in July and September.
What it could mean: first home buyers are a big part of this market, so rate changes are felt quickly here.
Porirua's new District Plan rules are now treated as operative, except where they are under appeal. They set what can be built on each property.
What it could mean: some properties may have more development potential than before. Check your property's zone on the council's ePlan, or ask me.
