PLANS + LEGAL
The design guidelines and covenants are intended to reinforce the unique environment & desirability of Whai Awa as a place to invest, live and enjoy. Our goal is to make Whai Awa one of Mangawhai’s premier residential communities. The guidelines and legal document has been developed to:
- Encourage quality design for all homes in order to match the vision of a high quality residential development.
- Add value to your house and neighbourhood.
- Help create an attractive safe and comfortable place for you to live.
- Assist with the approval process
A key objective of these Guidelines is to ensure a high quality built environment and to limit development to an appropriate and coordinated palette of materials in keeping with the Whai Awa setting and the coastal settlement location of Mangawhai.

A premium residential development offering a unique lifestyle experience.
The design of Whai Awa is a positive departure from typical subdivision design in the area. The plan for this subdivision places a strong emphasis on urban design with high quality streetscapes nestled in a beautiful natural location. Sustainable stormwater rain gardens treat surface run-off from paved areas and add to the quality and beauty of the streetscape.
