Housing New Zealand Corporation

Welcome to Housing New Zealand Corporation, located at Restell Street in Christchurch. We are an establishment and a local government office, serving as a point of interest for the community.

We are excited to announce that construction has recently been completed on thirteen new public homes in Richmond. These homes are now ready for residents to move in, providing much-needed housing for the area.

At Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities, we value public feedback and participation. We are currently inviting the public to provide feedback on the proposed key features of a potential Specified Development Project (SDP) for the Porirua Northern Growth Area. Your input is crucial in shaping the future of this area.

Similarly, we are also seeking public feedback on the proposed 'key features' of a potential Specified Development Project (SDP) for the Tauranga Western Corridor. We believe in the power of community involvement and encourage you to have your say.

In our commitment to increasing housing supply, we are planning to purchase 18 new homes and build up to nine more across two well-located sites in Dunedin. This initiative aims to bring more homes to the Otago community and address the housing needs in the area.
