Arataki Residential Area
The first area set for residential development is Precinct 1, Arataki. This first precinct includes the development of 440 houses and the beginnings of the Port Nikau community.
Construction currently underway
The first stage of Precinct 1 (Stages 1A, 1B, and 1C) will open up about 100 sections. Earthworks and services are currently underway and construction of housing will begin on Stage 1A once earthworks are complete.
Arataki Avenue runs through the centre of Port Nikau and connects the western streets with the town centre and marina on the eastern boundary.
Designing a range of housing options
Port Nikau will reflect the changing housing needs of Whangārei, and New Zealand, incorporating a range of housing options that will be available throughout Arataki, and the wider development.
Design plans include 2, 3 and 4-bedroom stand-alone houses, terraced houses, apartments and mixed-use home/office type buildings. Waterfront apartments are also planned.
