flag Residents oppose Kāinga Ora’s plan for six-storey buildings in Kerikeri, citing threats to historic character and tourism.

flag Kerikeri residents are opposing a Kāinga Ora proposal to allow six-storey buildings in the town centre, fearing it would harm the historic village character and tourism. flag The 2022 rezoning plan aims to support growth and investment, but community groups say there’s no evidence of demand for such density and that most residents were unaware until hearings began. flag Concerns include reduced sunlight, increased wind, visual impact, and higher living costs. flag While Kāinga Ora argues town centre zoning is essential for sustainable development, the Far North District Council’s reporting officer has not endorsed the proposal, and public hearings continue with strong support for a three-level maximum.
