Taraika

Taraika is a 420 hectare block of land that has been identified as a growth area for Horowhenua.

Our district needs to build an estimated 440 homes every year for the next decade if we are to meet demand – many of those homes are likely to be built by developers in Taraika with the rest spread across the district.

Council has been working on the project for several years and this page has been developed to provide you with information across the project from its inception to planning changes through to infrastructure development.

Taraika Infrastructure

This project aims to install infrastructure to allow developers to build an estimated 2,500 houses on Taraika.

Taraika Master Plan

The Master Plan will enable the development of approximately 2,500 houses (at a range of different section sizes), a small commercial area, new parks and reserves, and education opportunities on 420 hectares on the south-east edge of Levin.

Proposed Plan Change 4: Taraika Growth Area

Proposed Plan Change 4 focuses on rezoning an area of land to the east of Levin. The area in question totals over 420ha and is currently zoned Greenbelt Residential (Deferred). Further submissions closed on 15 March 2021. The hearing of submissions will take place on 17-19 November 2021.
