Our mission

Supporting belonging in Kāpiti

Addressing the need

Kāpiti is experiencing increasing pressure on housing, including rising costs, limited supply, and changing community needs.

Our Trust wants to be part of the solution and to provide a coordinated, long-term response. A response that connects planning, delivery, and ongoing management, and works across council, government, iwi, and community.

Our progress

Ōtaki – Rangiuru Road

Our first development opportunity is in Ōtaki. Funding has been secured through the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development to support housing on land that was purchased by Kāpiti Coast District Council for affordable housing.

We are working through the transfer of this land asset to the Trust, alongside progressing planning, consenting, and early community engagement with partners to ensure the development reflects local needs and is well integrated into the surrounding neighbourhood.

This is a staged project, with key planning and delivery milestones anticipated across 2026–2027.

Building homes by building trust

A new model of sector-led housing for the Kāpiti Coast.

The Trust’s first development at Rangiuru Road will deliver 21 homes, with resource consent in place for a total of 46 homes across the site.

Designed for local people finding it increasingly difficult to access suitable housing in the private market, the development includes shared open spaces, gardens, and areas for tamariki to connect.

 “Our role is to help ensure Kāpiti has housing that reflects the identity of the community, and supports local people and whānau to continue living, working and raising their children close to the people and places that matter most to them,” says Board Chair, Alison Cadman.
