Going for Housing Growth

Auckland, Auckland Region

Going for Housing Growth is a nationwide policy initiative led by the New Zealand Government to address the chronic housing shortage, with a strong focus on Auckland. The programme aims to significantly increase housing supply by freeing up land for development, removing restrictive planning barriers, and incentivizing councils and communities to support growth. Key features include ambitious housing growth targets, mixed-use development mandates, and infrastructure funding reforms. As of November 2025, the programme is in the planning and consultation phase, with implementation of regulatory changes and targets underway.
