Registrations of interest for Wairoa Main Street renovated retail, hospitality, commercial, and office space.

Building plans for the Wairoa Marine Parade revitalisation project are nearing completion and we are seeking to formalise arrangements with prospective tenants. Following on from our first call for Expressions of Interest, we are now progressing to the next level to ensure the development meets the requirements of the tenants. The revitalisation project involves the renovation/rebuilding of the Winter’s buildings (corner of Marine Parade and Locke Street) and the next door Gemmell’s buildings (often referred to as the ‘burnt-out-buildings’) on Marine Parade.

The Te Wairoa E Whanake project is a $4.8 million-dollar Provincial Growth Fund investment into Wairoa’s town centre to assist in creating further retail, employment, social and educational opportunities.
​

Configuration options have been developed, based on early tenancy indications, which include lease space for retail, hospitality, commercial and office options. The final configuration is dependent on the formalisation of the leases. Registrations of interest are being sought from individuals, businesses and organisations who may be interested in leasing space in the newly refurbished buildings.

​To regenerate the Wairoa town centre through a private and public partnership that creates new educational and employment pathways whilst revitalising the district's CBD. The project will bring the community together by creating a robust, sustainable, culturally reflective and digitally connected town centre where people naturally congregate. Te Wairoa E Whanake will meet the four Local Government wellbeing principals of economic, cultural, social and environmental outcomes.

​CBD REGENERATION AND UPGRADE VISION 

Te Wairoa E Whanake will act as a platform for revitalisation of the CBD through diversification of economic activity, creating employment opportunities, increasing community wellbeing, strategic positioning and reconnecting the east and west ends of the street.

 Te Wairoa E Whanake will regenerate the town centre through the redevelopment of the burnt-out buildings site, relocation of the i-Site, and development of a Tourism Centre. In addition, the establishment of a Wairoa Regional Park running alongside the main street and incorporated with a clever urban design plan will provide appropriate development solutions to complement the unique natural setting of the town.

 Te Wairoa E Whanake is a partnership solution approach which will lead to trade training, apprentice based and employment pathway initiatives between local business and employment opportunities. Infrastructure and skills are increasingly recognised as key enablers for regional development (Henley Hutchings, 2019) and Te Wairoa E Whanake builds on those foundations creating further economic confidence and becoming a catalyst for additional investment in the Wairoa District.

TE WAIROA REORUA - BILINGUAL WAIROA 2040​

Te Wairoa Reorua - Bilingual Wairoa 2040 is an initiative started in 2012 to promote bilingual proficiency throughout the Wairoa community by 2040. Formed initially between Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngāti Kahungunu o Te Wairoa and the Human Rights Commission, the foundation organisations of Te Wairoa Reorua include Te Ataarangi, Kōhanga Reo, Wairoa Taiwhenua, and Wairoa District Council.

Reorua has developed a strategy to grow initiatives that represent and recognise a continuum of progression in language revitalisation; support local reo initiatives; and promote a linguistic portal to the world for future generations. The objectives are to encourage and support the use of Te Reo Māori to: be used naturally in all public places; be a strong language choice in homes; build business and workplace capability; provide services and conduct business activities.

​Te Wairoa E Whanake will be led by the commitment made in the Te Wairoa Reorua Bilingual Wairoa 2040 to ensure cultural reflectiveness and the incorporation of Te Reo Māori is achieved through all deliverables.
