Construction has begun on a Queenstown housing development that will hold more than 300 new homes.

Ngāi Tahu Property is developing the four hectare site on Gorge Road for Kiwibuild and the Land for Housing Programme after the crown land was first approved for purchase in October 2018.

Downer has been appointed to carry out work on Te Pā Tāhuna development over several stages.

Ngāi Tahu Property general manager Blair Forgie said the development would include more than 105 Kiwibuild homes and support commercial spaces on the former site of the Wakatipu High School.

The first homes are expected to be ready by 2022.
