Epuni is a suburb of Lower Hutt, situated in the Wellington region of New Zealand. The suburb lies around one kilometre east of the Lower Hutt CBD.
The suburb takes its name from the Te Āti Awa chief Honiana Te Puni.[3]
In 2018 HNZ, which in October 2019 became part of Kaingaora Ora Homes and Communities,[4] announced that it was to build 153 homes on long-vacant land in Epuni where earlier HNZ houses had been demolished.[5]
