Pou Oranga Whai Ora - Community Recovery Facility

Bairds Road is the repurposing of an existing property for Pou Oranga Whai Ora Charitable Trust, supporting a community-based recovery programme in Ōpōtiki, within the rohe of Te Whakatōhea.

The project adapts existing dwellings to create a live-in facility, alongside spaces for outreach services, workshops and day-to-day programme activities, delivering a practical environment that supports recovery, connection and long-term wellbeing.

The development provides accommodation for up to 10 residents, with a focus on shared living, structure and connection, while also supporting the wider community through integrated counselling and support services.

This is a community-based support model, focused on providing a stable, supportive environment for individuals at different stages of their recovery journey.

PJM is engaged as client-side project manager, providing project management, contract administration, quantity surveying, Engineer to Contract (EtC), and board reporting services.
