Marketing. The proposal for house ownership is circulated with an application form. Request for house ownership requires the applicant’s job details with NZD 10,000 deposited to the development company’s trust account.

Compliance & Infrastructure. The NZD 10,000 deposits with the Te Puni Kokiri funding will fund the RMA, building consents, gate, road access, landscaping and fencing. The Papakainga partnership company requests the local referral of all the certified builders and trades and will facilitate their training.
Locations. Each Hapu establishes several preferred Papakainga development sites, subject to the number of houses required. Each economic Papakainga unit of 20 homes as currently zoned requires 40,000m2 (4 ha) of land.

First Home Buyer. The average marriage age is now thirty years, with most couples planning to have a family before age forty. Their ideal affordable but adaptable first home (including land use rights) would be the Papakainga NZD 396,000, 144/m2 multi-key, generational house, infrastructure and land package.
Ownership Options. Before the children arrive and require the two bedsit studios, an option is to rent the two bedsit studios to help pay the mortgage. Homeownership options can include sole ownership, cross lease, shared, trust, or company with a Kiwibank ‘Te Kainga Whenua’ first mortgage facility.
Retirement Option. An option is to sell the Generational Multi-keyed house later and use the proceeds to buy an urban home with surplus land near a preferred school. Then on the surplus land, build an Escape Living Bedsit house and use the rental to pay down the mortgage and later debt-free supplement the pension.
Generational Wealth. A further option is to demolish the existing house and build two or more ‘Escape Living’ bedsit houses or a ‘No Name’ business centre or ‘Millennia’ terraces. Subject to the area set aside for family use, the development equity + rental + growth with refinancing will fund further development.
The Government. Twenty-six thousand statehouses are now on a waitlist, the population of a city the size of Dunedin, up from 4,000 four years ago. Most believe this number is only the tip of the iceberg.
The Council. No infrastructure subsidy is required from the Council other than the Council’s co-operation with the speedy processing of the Resource and Building Consents.
The Homeowner. The Government has promised NZD 380,000,000 to supplement Maori housing. The homeowner requires only a 5 to 20% deposit. The homeowner with an after-tax salary can rent the two bedsits and complete the principal repayments with their mortgage contribution in less than fifteen years.
The Tenant. There is no additional cost to the almost 1,700,000 receiving a benefit, including job seekers, the universal beneficiaries, school-age over 16, university beneficiaries & superannuants. The Government provides a living benefit and an accommodation allowance to cover the NZD 150 studio rental and utility subsidies.
