我们的建造方法

Growing our housing portfolio

Kāinga Ora builds additional state houses based on the Government’s Public Housing Plan, which tells us how many houses are needed and where they are needed.

Over the two years to 30 June 2026, we will be adding 2,650 homes to our state housing stock, bringing the total number of state houses throughout Aotearoa to around 78,000.

We will do this through:

• removing old Kāinga Ora houses and redeveloping on the land;
• working with construction firms to build houses;
• buying completed homes from private developers.

A focus on renewal

We also have a focus on renewing our existing homes, to make sure we have homes in the right locations and our homes are suitable for the people that need them.

We renew our homes through:

• renovating them through our retrofit programme, adding at least 50 years to their life;
• removing homes and redeveloping on the same land;
• selling the houses and the land and replacing it with a new warm, dry home elsewhere.

Over the two years to 30 June 2026, almost 3,000 Kāinga Ora homes will be renewed, delivering warmer, drier and healthier homes for people in need, in the right locations.

Selling our homes

Our focus on renewals means Kāinga Ora will strategically sell some state homes or land it owns. Generally, this will be because selling makes the best economic sense, or we need to prioritise social housing in another area.

It’s important to note when we sell, we are not reducing our overall number of state homes. For each Kāinga Ora home we sell, we deliver a newly built state home elsewhere.

When we sell, the funds are reinvested to renew even more of our homes.

This approach means we are releasing more homes into the market for all New Zealanders, while continuing to provide social housing in the right locations.

设计与规划

Kāinga Ora的建筑活动所纳入的设计原则和控制措施确保我们开发的住房质量优良并满足我们所服务社区的需求。

我们在建造过程中会考虑道路和便利设施（比如公园）等基础设施，以创建功能齐全、有吸引力的社区，并积极推动实现当地社区的愿望。 

我们为公屋住宅的建设制定了设计指南，而且我们的新住宅标准和定制设计采用了《Te Aranga 设计原则》。这些原则建立在毛利人固有的文化价值观的基础上，旨在提高mana whenua（与大地的精神联系）在城市设计中的存在感、可见度和参与度。
