CDL Land NZ Limited lodged its application in July 2025 to provide up to 200 new homes across an 11-hectare site. 

“Approval has taken just 5 months following the commencement of the expert panel,” says Mr Bishop. 

“The project is estimated to generate around $78 million in investment and create approximately 629 jobs over the five-year development period during construction.
