Dunne Welcomes New Johnsonville Housing Development
Ohariu MP, Hon Peter Dunne, is
welcoming the announcement that 21 new one-bedroom units are
to be built in three two-storey blocks on the corner of
Phillip Street and Frankmoore Avenue, Johnsonville.
“This was the site of the old Housing New Zealand units that were demolished last year because of earthquake damage.
“At the time I raised concern that the site be retained for new public housing, not disposed of on the open market, so I am delighted at today’s announcement,” he says.
Mr Dunne says this is an ideal site for social housing because of its proximity to the heart of the Johnsonville Shopping Centre, and the railway station and bus terminal.
The development is
expected to cost around $5.6 million, and is due for
completion in September 2018.
