Building the Future
Government's vision for housing is that …
All New Zealanders have access to affordable, sustainable, good quality housing appropriate to their needs.
To achieve that vision, we will work with the community, industry and local government to:
- reduce unmet housing need
- reduce inequalities in housing
- improve the quality of New Zealand?s housing stock
- develop a housing sector that encourages appropriate provision of, and investment in, housing.
We will do this by:
- increasing access to affordable and sustainable housing
- encouraging more efficient and effective housing markets
- increasing choice and diversity in housing markets
- improving housing standards
- increasing integration of housing with the community and other services
- increasing capacity in the housing sector.
