Earthworks have begun on a 49-unit development being built in Ocean Grove. PHOTO: STEPHEN JAQUIERYA development of 49 lots near Tomahawk Beach will help meet the city’s housing shortage, but the developer says a more comprehensive plan is needed to properly address the problem in Dunedin. Willowridge Developments development manager Allan Dippie said the development, named Ocean Heights, was small but would go some way towards meeting ‘‘what we see is a pretty large demand’’ in Dunedin. The development in Ocean Grove is being built between Tomahawk Rd and Centre Rd and is expected to be ready next year. Earthworks were under way at the site and the sand being excavated from there had been given to the Dunedin City Council for coastal erosion remediation work.
