In this bonus episode of the Property Apprentice Podcast, host and financial adviser Debbie Roberts breaks down the NZ Government’s ambitious "Going for Housing Growth" agenda—a series of reforms that could significantly reshape the building consent system and property development process across Aotearoa. 

If you've ever experienced delays or frustrations with building consents, you’ll want to hear this. 

 Here’s what we cover: 

• The major overhaul of New Zealand’s building consent system
• Easier approval and access to international building products
• Plans to allow granny flats up to 70sqm without needing full consent
• How builders, plumbers, and drainlayers may soon self-certify their own work
• New targets to complete 80% of building inspections within 3 working days
• The balance between cutting red tape and maintaining building quality and safety

Whether you're a property investor, homeowner, builder, or someone planning a project, these changes could impact your timeline, your costs, and your opportunities.

Stay informed and get ahead of the curve.
