Te Tau Papa o Avarua — Avarua Town Renewal (Phase 1)

Public-realm renewal of Avarua's town centre and Punanga Nui Market, including the near-complete Te Tapora Kai farmers and crafts building.

Phase 1 renews Avarua’s public spaces around Panama Reserve, the township, and Punanga Nui Market. Its Te Tapora Kai farmers and crafts building — with fibre, substation, and water submain — was reported around 90% complete in August 2025, with the fish market and toilet block already finished. Official records note earlier procurement and supply-chain delays before works began; it is described here as underway, not complete.
