Housing Ministry 'aware' of flood issues at planned 350 home development site
Stuff - National: 27-Jan-2023
Plans to build 350 new homes on a site rejected for housing in 2019 due to flood fears present a “significant opportunity to increase the housing supply in Rotorua”, according to Ministry of Housing Deputy Chief Executive Ben Dalton.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has acquired land in Ngongotahā for the 350-home development that was rejected by Minister of Housing Megan Woods for 80 residential lots just five years ago due to flood fears.
The site was also rejected in 2004 as a possible cemetery due to the presence of "sewage sludge".
