Proudly developed by
In partnership with
The Site Design.
The site is located on the old Old Tokoroa East School site, with new entrances off both Main Road and Giles Street. 56 new residential lots have been created in this high-quality neighbourhood, as well as two commercial lots on the SH1 frontage. Te Koha has been designed with a low-speed internal loop road with two pedestrian crossings. Each single-storey standalone home has a direct frontage to the development’s internal road network, with a driveway onto each section and parking. An additional 12 parks are located near the main entrance. Access into and out of the site is via both Giles Street and SH1 (to travel North on SH1, exit via Giles Street).
Telling our story.
Te Koha is consistent with Te Rautaki Taiao (our Environment Management Plan) addressing the natural and physical resources of significance to our iwi.
Uniquely Raukawa: this project will enable Raukawa whānau to reconnect with the whenua, and through site storytelling with local artists, will explain to the wider community the values and stories of Raukawa. We have identified locations within the site have been identified for pou and signage, as well as detailing on the raised crossings at each entrance and the two pedestrian crossings on the internal road.
Beautiful setting: 51 street trees are included in the landscaping plan (three species, when mature 8 – 12m high) on the street edges, plus dense native plantings on the fenced stormwater attenuation garden in the North Western corner of the site. Everything within the road reserve (lot boundary to lot boundary) will be adopted and vested to South Waikato District Council. The wetland will also be vested to SWDC to own and maintain going forward.
Rebuilding, reconnecting and creating lasting opportunities for Raukawa whānau.
