T T from page 70 First National New Plymouth: Rata St Subdivision DEVELOPMENT “Now our whole team has been involved and they understand how it works. It was an amazing training exercise.” The Rata Street subdivision, marketed through the First National collective, has adopted a unique approach, allowing buyers to choose their preferred salesperson. Shawn says this strategy has not only worked well but also served as a valuable training exercise for the entire team. “It was good for our team, because not everyone has the right skills to sell subdivisions, and some had never sold any before. Now our whole team has been involved and they understand how it works. It was an amazing training exercise.” Shawn emphasises the aesthetic and functional appeal of Rata Street, calling it “one of the best-looking subdivisions in the area, with quality street lighting, parking, and footpaths.” Furthermore, the development aligns with the South Taranaki District Council’s 10-year plan, with roads wide enough they can be added on to, and more services installed than immediately required. “We have worked with the Council to future-proof the area.” He says local investors have taken notice of Rata Street’s success, inspiring them to explore their own residential developments. Riding on their development credibility, the Gibbons are now offering guidance and support to these investors, facilitating the growth of residential developments in South Taranaki. Shawn and Pam’s pride in contributing to their community shines through: “It’s nice to be able to help our own community rather than someone else’s,” says Shawn. “The influx of new residents not only brings economic benefits but also enhances community infrastructure.” As more residents move in, the landscape of South Taranaki continues to evolve, creating vibrant, high-quality living spaces, says Shawn. “People are buying the sections, building the houses, and taking their kids to the schools. It’s fostering a sense of community and contributing to the on-going growth and prosperity of South Taranaki.” For those interested in the Gibbons subdivision the sections available for sale are listed on the First National website fntaranaki.co.nz Shawn advises people to get in quick to secure their site as the sections are selling fast.
