What's changing in Kenepuru
The plans and projects most likely to affect Kenepuru.
Kenepuru Landing is planned for over 700 homes across six stages, led by Ngāti Toa. Stages 1 and 2 are complete, and house and land packages in Stage 3 are on the market now.
What it could mean: a steady supply of new homes. If you own an existing home here, buyers will compare it with new builds, so presentation and price matter.
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.
