A much-loved part of Tāmaki, the Derna Tobruk neighbourhood is now being readied for future generations. As part of the Tāmaki regeneration programme, Derna Tobruk’s streets and underground infrastructure are being upgraded, and its green spaces are being restored and renovated to provide plenty of space to play.
Over one hundred high-quality homes will be built here by the end of 2022, including affordable homes for purchase by those with a connection to Tāmaki, and public housing homes. Half of the houses are already completed and a connected, thriving community is taking shape.
Wrapped by three nature reserves, this peaceful pocket of Panmure runs along the edge of the Tāmaki River, and borders Sommerville School and Tāmaki Primary School. Come and take a look around.
