sep 21, 2018 - Housing New Zealand Corporation changed to Housing New Zealand (HNZ)

Description:

The Government also announced that it would remove the word ‘Corporation’ from the name of Housing New Zealand to provide a clear signal to tenants and the public about the change in focus. It was also proposed that legislation would be changed to remove the requirement for Housing New Zealand to return surpluses to the Crown, to provide a clear signal about on-going investment. Under the Crown Entities Act 2004, the Minister of Finance would still have the power to require a surplus to be returned, but the default would be that Housing New Zealand would retain any surplus funds.
