PHOTO: ABIGAIL DOUGHERTY/STUFF Whai Rawa board member Ngarimu Blair says the iwi has also expressed interest in former iwi land left behind if Ports of Auckland moves to Whangarei.

Auckland iwi Ngāti Whātua plans to put the first stage of its Devonport housing development on the market by the end of the year.

The at-times controversial development on former naval land has been named Oneoneroa – the original name for Shoal Bay.

Registrations are being taken for 13 freehold two, three- or four-bedroom townhouses in Rutherford St on what used to be called the Hillary block, now renamed Wai O Roka.

When complete, Oneoneroa is expected to contain about 350 homes developed by Whai Rawa, Ngati Whatua’s commercial arm.
