Pensioner housing
We own 93 pensioner housing units in seven complexes across Cambridge, Kihikihi and Te Awamutu, which are homes to 107 tenants. The units offer a home for retired people, over the age of 65 who comply with our criteria for subsidised rent.
To qualify, pensioners must:
- Have a genuine need for housing and preference is given to residents of long standing residency in the Waipā District.
- Be within the asset barrier, not exceeding the sum of $20,000 for a single person and $35,000 for a couple.
- All residents must be the age of 65 years or older.
- Pensioner income must not exceed the regular Superannuation (including an accommodation supplement) plus 10 per cent.
- Provide a current letter from their doctor to say they are able to live alone and/or be in receipt of a sickness benefit, war pension or retired person’s pension.
Conditions include:
- Bond equivalent to two weeks rent is required.
- Pets are not allowed.
- Gardens immediately around each unit are the responsibility of the tenant, but Council will mow lawns.
The pensioner housing portfolio fulfils a genuine need within the community to provide the elderly with subsidised accommodation.

Residential housing
We currently own and manage a small portfolio of residential houses. These properties are operated with a commercial focus and do not provide any form of subsidised rent to tenants.
These properties are advertised on Trade Me when vacant.
We do not plan to increase this portfolio unless further residential homes need to be acquired for future roading development.
For more information call our Customer Support Team on 0800 WAIPADC (924 723).
