Was the $125 million reduction in capital funding for Large Scale Projects in Budget 25 reinvested in Kāinga Ora and if not, where, if anywhere, were those savings reallocated?

Answer

This information is publicly available as part of the Budget 2025 Summary of Initiatives and can be found here [https://www.treasury.govt.nz/sites/default/files/2025-05/b25-sum-initiatives.pdf]. I am advised that $100M in savings were reinvested in Vote Housing and Urban Development Budget initiatives, such as supporting upfront operating supplement for social housing and the flexible fund. The remaining $25M was reinvested in the Greenfield Model through Vote Finance.
