dec 20, 2017 - State House sales - stop

Description:

The Government announced the cessation of sales of state houses. Existing houses would remain in state ownership and the number of state houses would be increased.
While this ended large-scale state housing sell-offs, Housing New Zealand Corporation would continue to modernise its housing stock by building and buying new homes where they were most needed and selling individual houses that were no longer fit for purpose.
The announcement stopped the transfer of 2,500 state houses in the Christchurch suburbs of Shirley, Bryndwr and Riccarton which had been scheduled to be completed by mid-2018
