Answer

Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities advises me that wool carpet has been installed in 319 existing homes from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2025 and in 23 existing homes in the 2024/25 financial year. These figures include all installations in existing homes. This means everything from a patch repair to whole house recarpeting but excludes the Retrofit Programme.
