Together, shaping cities where communities thrive

Property Council is the leading advocate for New Zealand’s largest industry - property.

Each year, we canvas our members to craft our annual advocacy priorities. These priorities form the foundation of all the work we do, both nationally and in the regions.

These priorities are grouped under five key workstreams:

  1. Enable thriving cities and infrastructure
  2. Reform the planning system
  3. Deliver housing that enhances communities
  4. Adopt fairer regulation and tax settings
  5. Improve sustainability and resilience

PCNZ makes sure that we've got the right environment in which developers, property owners and consultants can create communities and build cities. I love being part of this organisation.

Nothing Property Council advocates for is in a vacuum or in the abstract. Everything is about the members, it's about property, it's about space. The credibility of that voice comes from the breadth of its membership and its national reach.

Property is New Zealand's largest industry, making up 15% of economic activity.

As a sector, we employ 10% of New Zealand’s workforce and directly contribute over $50.2 billion to GDP (and growing!).

Property Council is the one organisation that collectively champions property. We bring together members from across the property ecosystem to advocate for reduced red tape that enables development, encourages investment, and supports our communities to thrive.

Our members shape the cities and spaces where Kiwis live, work, play and shop.

That is the power of property.
