Nau mai ki tō tātou nei whare. Nau mai ki Te Tōangaroa.

We were proud to have our kaumātua and whānau welcome Houkura into their new office here at Te Tōangaroa.

Houkura plays an important role in ensuring Māori voices and aspirations are reflected in Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Auckland Council's decision-making so it's fitting that this important mahi will now be carried out here on our whenua.

To the kaimahi joining us in this whare and in the precinct, nau mai, haere mai. We look forward to having you as neighbours!

Matariki Herenga Waka, Tāmaki Herenga Waka 💫

Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Britomart and Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland Council are pleased to present Tūhono - an immersive ara toi (art trail) celebrating Matariki through light, storytelling and contemporary Māori design.

Stretching from Te Kōmititanga, through Britomart and along the downtown waterfront into Te Tōangaroa, Tūhono connects a series of significant city spaces through light, sound and visual narrative.

Created by a collective of our very own young ringa toi (artists) - Arama Tamariki-Enua, Caine Taihia, Uira Nahi and Maraea Shaw in collaboration with Angus Muir Designs - the trail draws inspiration from the symbolism and journeys of waka and explores ideas of movement, gathering and history across generations.
Gather your whānau and friends, and discover a new way to experience the city centre after dark.

📅 Live from 27 June - 18 July
📍 Trailing Te Kōmitanga, Britomart & Te Tōangaroa

23/06/2026

📅Saturday 27 June, Friday 10 July & Saturday 25 July, from 4pm - 9pm
📍Māhuhu ki te Rangi Park

Bring your whānau & friends, dress warm and enjoy a night in the city, full of kai, laughter and music

There’s real momentum building at our Bayswater development where we are building 61 rental homes for the New Zealand Defence Force.

We’re seeing strong progress right across the site, with our own whānau pakihi playing a big role. Rua Construction have already completed their mahi, Guaranteed Electrical is still on site, and we’re excited to welcome Ōrākei 7 starting next week. Guaranteed Showers will also be joining in the coming weeks. It’s great to see whānau businesses leading from the front and contributing to bringing these homes to life.

You can really see the change happening now. On the outside, cladding is going up and some homes are already finished, with scaffolding starting to come down. Inside, insulation and GIB are going in across all homes, with painting up next. Kitchens and bathrooms are set to be installed in May, followed by flooring.

Everything is tracking well for completion at the end of July, when all 61 townhouses across Roberts Street and Portsmouth Road will be ready.
