behind oroko rise.

Oroko Rise is a vibrant new community that will provide much-needed homes to the Taupō area. Oroko Rise is located on part of the council-owned East Urban Lands block, behind Kokomea Village.

Taupō District Council has partnered with a consortium of Penny Homes and Classic Builders with support of Tūwharetoa Settlement Trust to deliver 116 high-quality houses surrounded by green spaces and pathways, beginning with a first stage of 62 homes. Half of the homes in this first stage will be targeted at working families who are first home buyers (or, under special circumstances).
