Work on 18 Kāinga Ora homes is now under way in Mornington as the government housing provider attempts to meet heavy demand in Dunedin.
The organisation also confirmed it had bought the former Hilltop Funeral Home in Middleton Rd, Corstorphine, which will be turned into a housing development.
For the Mornington development, a letter sent to neighbours said Kāinga Ora confirmed an agreement to purchase 18 two-bedroom homes being built at 27 Napier St, with the project likely to be completed in March 2024.
