A massive $1.5 billion regeneration project for Porirua will see thousands of state homes built.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern visited Russell School in the suburb of Cannons Creek on Thursday to announce a large-scale plan to revitalise Eastern Porirua – an area known for pockets of deprivation and a wealth of cultural diversity.
The plan will see Government partner with local iwi Ngāti Toa and Porirua City Council over the next 15 years to redevelop roughly 2000 state houses in Eastern Porirua and about 850 state houses in Western Porirua, including Titahi Bay.
