New Zealand’s housing system is at a crossroads. Unlocking progress will take bold thinking, coordinated investment and genuine collaboration between public and private partners.
The 2026 Residential Development Summit brought together the people driving that change — developers, investors, planners, iwi, local government and policymakers — to explore the future of housing and infrastructure delivery.
Across one intensive day at the New Zealand International Convention Centre, delegates heard from national and international experts, including insights from world-leading case studies, and thought-provoking discussions on planning reform, funding models, construction innovation and community outcomes.
From the site tour to the closing keynote, this is where ideas turn into action — and where the future of residential development takes shape.
We can’t wait to see you at the NZ International Convention Centre in March!
