About Point England
Point England is a coastal East Auckland residential suburb adjacent to Glen Innes — affordable family housing on the Tāmaki Estuary foreshore, with major Kāinga Ora regeneration programmes (part of the wider Tāmaki Regeneration) progressively replacing older state housing with mixed-tenure modern developments. The suburb’s character is genuinely transitional as the regeneration delivers new housing through the 2020s.
Point England Reserve

Tāmaki Regeneration
Point England is part of the wider Tāmaki Regeneration programme — major multi-year Kāinga Ora-led redevelopment of state housing across Point England, Glen Innes and Panmure delivering thousands of new homes in mixed-tenure developments.
