Introducing the new Housing Delivery Group
14 二月 2025
It’s early days for our Housing Delivery Group (HDG) but already we’re starting to see the benefits of our new structure.
HDG brings together what was previously Construction and Innovation, the Commercial Group, and Urban Planning and Design, enabling us to achieve greater efficiencies in the delivery of quality social housing for New Zealanders in need.
While we won’t be growing the size of our housing portfolio at the same pace and scale we have in recent years, we’ll still be building a significant number of new homes. We’ll also be investing in our existing older homes, renovating them to make them warmer, drier and healthier for the people that live in them.
In line with the recent commitments we’ve made to the government through our Reset Plan, we’re focused on making sure we deliver all this work as efficiently as possible.
We’re optimising construction plans and increasing the use of our Housing Delivery System to build houses more efficiently and reliably. We are reducing excessive building requirements, while using our consistent pipeline of projects and nationwide scale to reduce costs. Our goal is to use every dollar wisely and ensure we build at a cost closer to market rate.
The industry naturally has an important role to play in this. We have a wide network of build partners, developers, consultants and suppliers working with us daily. These relationships, along with the valuable feedback and insight they give us, will be key to working more efficiently and cost-effectively as we deliver social housing for New Zealand together.
Within HDG there are specialist teams covering the different methods we use to deliver our homes, our relationships with our partners, technical expertise, and reporting and gathering insights on how we are performing. It is a talented group of people that I am delighted to lead. Together, we are motivated and excited to achieve our goals, delivering the very best for New Zealand. I look forward to sharing our milestones and celebrating successes with the industry on the journey.
