The Government has committed another $204 million to advance urban development in eastern Porirua.
This brings the investment to $340 million for the development, which is being done in partnership with Porirua City Council and Ngāti Toa Rangatira.
Housing Minister Megan Woods says the investment in infrastructure will result in more build-ready land, unlocking the potential for a further 2,000 homes, as well as better local flood defences, improved transport links and town centre upgrades.
It will also enable the delivery of up to 744 new homes on Crown land, including replacing 186 old state homes that are no longer fit for purpose, building an additional 100 public homes, and up to 458 affordable and market homes.
