Government Policy Statement
The Government Policy Statement on Housing & Urban Development (GPS-HUD) will communicate the Government’s long-term vision for the housing and urban development system, to help build consensus on what New Zealand wants for the future, and to help align the different players to ensure we get there.
The purpose of the GPS-HUD is to:
- build consensus on what New Zealand wants for the future of housing and urban development, and help align the different players and interests to ensure we get there
- provide specific direction and support to Kāinga Ora as the Government’s lead housing provider and urban developer
- inform and guide the decisions and actions of all other New Zealand government agencies involved in housing and urban development
- provide more certainty to everyone operating in the system about how the government will operate and invest in housing and urban development
- provide confidence to all New Zealanders about their future wellbeing
The responsible Ministers for the GPS-HUD are the Minister of Housing and the Minister of Finance. Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga - Ministry of Housing and Urban Development is leading the development of the draft GPS with support from other government agencies.
The inaugural GPS-HUD needs to be published by October 2021 and will be reviewed every 3 years.
