Tāmaki Regeneration
Tāmaki Regeneration works alongside the community and our partners, shaping the future of Tāmaki together. Tāmaki is a special part of Auckland with its plentiful parks and beautiful estuary. Glen Innes, Pt England and Panmure, the three suburbs that form Tāmaki, have diverse and proud communities with a strong connection to the whenua. We’re investing in this special part of Auckland through the Tāmaki regeneration programme. The programme embraces the manaakitanga, energy and spirit of Tāmaki, building on the area’s rich history. Tāmaki Regeneration has a master plan for Tāmaki that will upgrade streets, parks and town centres, increase transport options, support schools, provide job opportunities and build 10,500 affordable, state and market homes. We’re committed to enhancing wellbeing in Tāmaki, especially for local Māori and Pasifika people. We are creating a place where it’s possible for everyone to flourish and grow.
