Maea Fields | August Development Update

11 Aug 2025

We had an awesome turnout at the Maea Fields Open Day earlier this month — helped along by a cracker of a sunny day!

A big thanks to everyone who stopped by. These events are always a great chance to swing in, catch up on what’s happening in the neighbourhood, meet the build partners, and enjoy some kai and coffee together.

There was strong interest in the available House & Land Packages, with heaps of positive feedback on the range of home options, the value on offer, and the overall vibe of the community. It’s always great to hear people connecting with the vision for Maea Fields.

Looking ahead, work on Stage 2B is set to begin soon. This stage includes the neighbourhood park and reserve — a key feature that will sit at the heart of Maea Fields. It’ll be a space for tamariki and mokopuna to play, get outside, and connect with whānau, friends, and neighbours.

Thanks again to everyone who came along — it’s the people who make Maea Fields what it is, and what it’s growing into. We’re just getting started, and we’re stoked to have you on the journey with us!
