Whakatāne plans a climate-resilient urban village with 2,000 homes in Awakeri, pending exemptions and funding.
The Whakatāne District Council is moving forward with plans to build a new urban village in Awakeri, a rural area near the town, featuring over 2,000 homes.
The project aims to create a climate-resilient, compact community on land with low natural hazard risk, near major employment centers.
Though some land is classified as highly productive and protected, officials say a pathway exists through strategic planning and central government support.
An exemption from current planning reforms is being pursued, with a structure plan targeted for completion by October.
Infrastructure costs will be covered by developers and government funding.
Other growth areas include Matatā, Māori land west of Coastlands, and existing master plans in Murupara and Minginui.
