The first stage of Habitat for Humanity Central Region’s affordable Te Awamutu housing development, in partnership with Zion Church, is complete.
Buildings on the former Zion church site on the corner of Ōhaupō and Racecourse roads were demolished, freeing up almost one hectare for housing.
Habitat Central chief executive Nic Greene said the organisation was seeking funding to start stage two.
“Development on this site has been impacted by the current tough economic conditions and a change in government, which has brought a change in housing-related funding,” he said.
“However, we remain committed to supporting people in Te Awamutu to achieve their housing aspirations through delivering affordable housing options on this site.”
