PF Olsen Purchases Ōwhata 2B and 7 Trust Nursery in Rotorua

Introducing Ōwhata Kōhanga Rākau, an innovative housing initiative that marks a significant step towards creating a thriving community in Ōwhata.

Late last month, civil construction company MATCO began earthworks on the site at Ōwhata in preparation for the 93 much needed new homes.
Now, with his passion for teaching and nurturing the next generation in the civil industry, MATCO Managing Director Matt Paget is offering a rare opportunity for local rangatahi to work with him in a learn-as-you-earn role, contributing to the Ōwhata Kōhanga Rākau housing project.

Ōwhata 2B and 7 Trustees, Government representatives and Ngāti Te Roro o te Rangi Iwi gathered yesterday for a soil turning ceremony marking the beginning of an innovative development project in Ōwhata.

At our Special General Meeting, which took place in early August at the Rydges Rotorua hotel, we announced the Kohanga Rakau Housing Initiative and the first stage of the resource consent process for 93 homes.
For those that missed out on the hui and would like copies of the presentation, please email mvercoe@deloitte.co.nz. All the March AGM resolutions were passed at the SGM, with the quorum.
