Find out how Kāinga Ora works with the development and construction industries to increase housing supply for all New Zealanders.

At Kāinga Ora, we greatly value our relationships and partnerships with suppliers, as well as our development & build partners. Our quarterly newsletter keeps the industry informed and up-to-date with Kāinga Ora activity.

Kāinga Ora is committed to sustainable site clearance methods to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill during housing development.

As a landlord and urban developer, we are mindful of reducing our environmental footprint and helping create climate resilient homes and communities.

Kāinga Ora is selling some homes and land that do not meet our current, or future, needs.

Kāinga Ora has a responsibility to ensure we are getting housing right for all our customers, including those with accessibility needs. We have had an Accessibility Policy in place since 2020, which sets out our commitment for our public housing properties.
