Port Nikau Masterplan

Residential

The Port Nikau development is managed by DC Group on behalf of two family groups and includes commercial developments, residential, and marine facilities.

Over the last 10 years, DC Group has led a project to convert the ex-Harbour Board land at Port Nikau into an exciting large-scale urban environment in central Whangārei. Port Nikau offers Whangārei a new way of living, a community situated on the stunning Whangārei Harbour.

The Port Nikau Masterplan was developed in collaboration with Construkt Architects and Reyburn and Bryant and adopted by the Whangārei District Council into the Whangārei District Plan in 2020. The Masterplan includes over 1,250 dwellings plus a town centre with 6,000m2 of retail, hospitality and commercial activities. The full 55-hectare housing development has been influenced by the latest urban design and building trends worldwide. It will consist of a wide and varied range of lot sizes and building typologies, so residents can choose a way of life that best suits them. Building typologies include 2, 3 and 4-bedroom standalone houses, terraced houses, apartments and mixed-use home/office type buildings.

Implementing the Masterplan is an ongoing project which includes developing detailed engineering plans, precinct subdivisions and bulk earthworks.
