About Omaka Landing
Omaka Landing occupies land previously used as a vineyard on the western edge of Blenheim. The Marlborough District Council granted resource consent for the subdivision, which was developed in multiple stages by Colonial Vineyard Limited. The project created a contemporary suburban environment with a variety of section sizes suited to different household needs.
The subdivision includes dedicated neighbourhood reserves managed by the Marlborough District Council. One reserve, accessible from Spitfire Drive and Kittyhawk Road, provides play equipment and open space for informal recreation. Additional facilities such as allocated parking for boats, trailers and campervans support residents.
Street names in the subdivision reflect an aviation theme, consistent with its proximity to the Omaka aerodrome area. The development was substantially completed by 2019, establishing it as an established residential neighbourhood within the Blenheim urban area.
