Horowhenua Developments is a subsidiary of The Horowhenua Company Ltd (THCL) Horowhenua’s Economic Development Agency, which is owned by Horowhenua NZ Trust, a charitable trust.
A new integrated health facility has been built for the Horowhenua Community to deliver a range of services in a new purpose built modern facility. The project ground blessing was held in October 2024 and construction has now begun on 15-17 Durham Street, Levin.
In 2021 we recognised the desperate need for improved access to healthcare services in Horowhenua. We validated the needs through a series of community healthcare sector engagements we visited in a range of sites in and around the Lower North Island, Auckland and Christchurch and worked with experts in the sector to develop a concept that will work for our community, our place, our people.
This Hub will provide much needed greater access to primary healthcare. The need for this investment is not just now but also to meet the demands of our growing population. Our vision is to provide a fit for purpose facility, combined with greater professional practice opportunities through aligning with the future of specialist services being available in Horowhenua.
On 18th October 2024, we held a groundbreaking and blessing ceremony and preparation for construction has now commenced. We are proud to be partnering with on this project with local business Homestead Construction Ltd, with opening expected late 2025. Visit HDL website here
