In progress

Tāmaki Regeneration Company is a Crown entity, jointly owned by the Government and Auckland Council, set up to renew the older state housing of Glen Innes, Point England and Panmure and to empower the people who live there, particularly Māori and Pasifika communities. Its twenty-year programme is replacing around 2,500 public homes with roughly 10,500 warm, dry, mixed-tenure homes. Early on, one Glen Innes scheme had not won Board approval, its plans judged unfeasible.

TRC engaged RCP to advise on that site. RCP ran a short, intensive masterplanning sprint, testing more than thirty concepts to find one that could deliver the community and social outcomes TRC needed while still stacking up commercially. The reworked scheme won Board approval and the development could proceed.

From one site to a portfolio

On the strength of that, TRC has engaged RCP across more of its portfolio. RCP is lead development advisor and project manager for five strategic landholdings with a combined yield of more than 530 homes, with more schemes winning Board approval since. The work runs from feasibility and masterplanning through procurement and delivery, on sites including Pīrangi, Concord, Site A and Epping Evandale. RCP also manages the Quality Homes Programme, upgrading thousands of tenanted social houses to Healthy Homes standards while residents stay in place.

Across the programme RCP has moved engagement with mana whenua, hapū and Pasifika communities from consultation toward partnership, with iwi sharing in design decisions rather than being brought in after them.

RCP's work has moved schemes from planning into delivery, with homes now being built for the Tāmaki communities they are meant for.
