4. Question No. 4—HousingHon JUDITH COLLINS (National—Papakura) to the Minister of HousingQuestion No. 4—Housing4. Hon JUDITH COLLINS (National—Papakura) to the Minister of Housing: Were any of the 859 houses that have received a KiwiBuild underwrite but have not yet been announced in places where there was little first-home buyer demand"?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS (Minister of Housing): The 859 houses are spread across multiple developments around New Zealand. These houses are in developments contracted via relationship and option agreements. They remain commercially sensitive because they are still in the early stages of planning and some decisions are yet to be made. Therefore I do not believe it is in the public interest to provide further details at this time. However I can tell the member that none of the houses are in the three areas identified in the KiwiBuild reset as having little first-home buyer demand.Hon Judith Collins: Well when will the Government release the details of these contracts to the public?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: When it is no longer commercially sensitive.Hon Judith Collins: Does she agree that the 470 KiwiBuild houses contracted for in Wānaka Te Kauwhata and Canterbury were built in places where there is "little first-home buyer demand" and why were they built there?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: I certainly agree—I think in fact I said it in my press statement at about the time of the KiwiBuild reset and this is the reason why we have removed them from the KiwiBuild houses and are selling them on the open market. We freely admit we didn't get it right the first time and we're making the changes to put KiwiBuild right. But I am pleased to tell that member that in the less than six weeks since the reset 132 KiwiBuild houses have been sold another 126 KiwiBuild houses have been contracted 23 additional houses have been completed and 27 additional houses are now under construction.Hon Judith Collins: If she agrees with me that they should not have been built there why were they?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: We have been through this quite thoroughly. In fact I think I did a 58-minute press conference spelling out what went wrong with the KiwiBuild reset—that one of the issues that was driving this actually was perversely having a target and it was forcing us to look at numbers over getting the right house in the right place. We are a Government that is committed to getting affordable houses for New Zealanders. We will not give up on it like the previous Government did. They committed to build over 39000 houses while they were in Government; they delivered 100 affordable houses over nine years. We have done more than double that.Hon Judith Collins: Can she confirm that no studio or one-bedroom homes that have received the KiwiBuild underwrite have yet had their sales settled?Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: The member will have to put that question in writing to me and I'll get her a detailed answer.Hon Judith Collins: I seek leave to table an attachment for parliamentary written question No. 34124 (2019) which has not yet been officially released; it's simply available to me at the moment. It's a table showing—SPEAKER: Is there any objection to that being tabled? There appears to be none.Document by leave laid on the Table of the House."
