Creating urban communities together.
About us
Our purpose To be the champion for great urban development, providing a platform for collaboration in order to achieve resilient, healthy and sustainable communities for all New Zealanders. We value collaboration and partnership, excellence, learning and transparency. Our members We are an open and inclusive national body that works from the grassroots through to Government. UDINZ members are a cross-section of people involved in building New Zealand communities, from developers to contractors, designers, planners, architects and engineers, through to materials suppliers, research agencies, financiers, real estate agencies, lawyers, accountants, councils and central Government - and all the players in-between. Working together, the voice of UDINZ members can be heard, providing real-world solutions to urban development challenges. Objectives Around 86% of New Zealanders live in urban areas but there is little consensus about what makes a “sense of place” in those communities. There are many contributing factors. UDINZ focuses on issues that its members broadly agree are relevant and compelling and in which UDINZ can effect change. It aims to lead the development of an “NZ Inc” approach. UDINZ will: 1. Define and advocate for a new and excellent urban development paradigm for Aotearoa New Zealand. 2. Provide a neutral environment for the wider sector to work together and with government to reduce uncertainty and increase consistency between policy jurisdictions, as well as aligning policy and implementation. 3. Facilitate collaboration around best practice, connecting and coordinating people working in urban development. 4. Build knowledge through provision of data, evidence-based research and domestic and international learning. 5. Provide and support talent development and training.

As we await a further iteration of our NPS UD, MDRS and other new signalled National Policy Statements, it's interesting see the Australian Government has late last year released a new National Urban Policy, a framework that will guide how cities and towns grow sustainably, inclusively, and resiliently into the future. The policy prioritises climate resilience, urban design excellence, and equitable access to infrastructure and services. Achieving the policy’s objectives will require multi-disciplinary collaboration in furtherance of integrated place based planning (cultural, geographic and unique identity) that addresses the interconnected challenges of housing, biodiversity, and urban infrastructure. Says Urban Policy Forum Chair, Emeritus Professor Barbara Norman: “The National Urban Policy includes an agreed vision, goals, and a set of principles to guide implementation of a sustainable urban future for all” Says Senator the Hon Jenny McAllister, Minister for Cities: “Cities are home to nearly 80% of Australians, and they count on them to provide equitable access to the essentials of a good life: affordable housing, employment, health, education, and safe and vibrant environments. We are investing in our cities and transforming our urban policy to support Australian families and drive economic growth and productivity. We also want to ensure that our communities are sustainable and resilient to the effects of climate change. The National Urban Policy sets out our shared vision for achieving that.” Read the National Urban Policy: https://lnkd.in/gPA7F4xy Also some interesting detail available on other mechanisms being used and a range of city and regional deals in play. https://lnkd.in/gQ3EFBCt #NPSUD #MDRS #cityandregionaldeals

Join the Urban Development Institute of New Zealand UDINZ for an engaging discussion on the sustainable design principles behind AUT’s newly refurbished Tukutuku building — a key milestone in the revitalisation of the University’s North Campus. Hosted by representatives from Auckland University of Technology, Jasmax, and Naylor Love, the event will highlight the innovative use of mass timber and adaptive reuse in Tukutuku, making it AUT’s most energy-efficient and lowest-carbon development to date. More info on this event and to register click here: https://lnkd.in/eh2vEfGQ Adrienne L. Miller Sasha Kelly Campbell McGregor Amanda Greenwood Kim Kelly Anthony Smith James Whetter Tracey Haszard Ged Campbell Steven Evans Annie Wilson Hayley Fitchett Sam Wallace Patrick Gavaghan David Hampton John Polkinghorne (he/him) Duncan Ecob Sarah Wiggins Angela Stewart Duncan Gibson Geoff Cawson Andrew Monteith Emma Howie Natalie van Rossen Ritashna Maharaj-Chand Sean O'Flaherty
Join Urban Development Institute of New Zealand UDINZ for a discussion that will explore the sustainable design principles that underpin AUT’s newly refurbished Tukutuku building, marking the first step in the revitalisation of the University’s North Campus. Hosted by representatives from Auckland University of Technology, Jasmax and Naylor Love, this event will cover the use of mass timber and adaptive reuse within Tukutuku, leading it to become the University’s lowest carbon and most energy efficient development. The new four-story learning facility provides a much-needed social and academic heart, with a soaring atrium connecting to the existing AF building, which has been comprehensively refurbished as part of the development. With connectivity, sustainability, and wellbeing at the heart of design, Tukutuku sets a benchmark for a sustainable future. AUT is currently Aotearoa New Zealand’s most energy efficient university. Tukutuku is its most sustainable building, strengthening AUT’s position as the university with the lowest CO2 emissions/m2 of built space in Australasia. Mass timber combined with the adaptive reuse strategy have been key to halving embodied carbon emissions when compared to an equivalent new development. Tukutuku is designed to uplift student achievement by providing a connected hub encompassing essential student services with study and social spaces immediately adjacent to a wide range of learning spaces, a café, library and academic staff. Tukutuku is much more than just a place to attend lectures; it is a learning ecosystem. ➡ Tuesday 11 February ➡ Tukutuku, AUT - Akoranga Drive, Northcote, Auckland ➡ Register to attend here: https://lnkd.in/eh2vEfGQ #Whereindustryandinsightmeet #connectcollaboratecommunity #resilientsustainablehealthy Adrienne L.

In this two-day course you'll learn what makes an effective wetland, how big they need to be, how to identify suitable sites, the design process, the best planting and much more. The course is suitable for participants who are interested in on-farm mitigations to improve catchment water quality – you may be developing your own wetland, advising clients, coordinating a catchment group, or supporting rural catchment communities. Please register your interest, and read all the details, here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ekcwy_Td ⏰ Registration deadline: 14 February 2025 📅 Course dates: 27–28 February 2025 📍 Location: NIWA Hamilton

Join Urban Development Institute of New Zealand UDINZ on a Summer Site Tour in Ōtepoti #Dunedin with McCoy and Wixon Architects Ltd, lead by members of that practice Niko Young and Regan Hall. They will explain to attendees what was achieved and why at the Jetty Street redevelopment which sits within Dunedin’s wider Warehouse Precinct. As its name implies, the Warehouse Precinct was the historic heart of the city's wholesale trade and was located close to the city's docks. With land reclamation, it is now some distance inland from the Dunedin wharves. Many of the city's older and more imposing buildings are located in the area, a large number of them built during and immediately after the Otago gold rush of the 1860s. In recent years there has been increasing interest in the redevelopment of this area and the buildings within it for a range of uses: office space, retail, hospitality and residential. The Jetty Street redevelopment project is significant in that a once dilapidated corner building and a heritage structure has been rejuvenated and put to new use. ➡ Thursday 23 January, 4.00pm - 6.00pm ➡ Jetty St, Dunedin ➡ Register to attend here: https://lnkd.in/giaXzcyW Adrienne L. Miller Sasha Kelly Campbell McGregor Amanda Greenwood Kim Kelly Anthony Smith James Whetter Tracey Haszard Ged Campbell Steven Evans Annie Wilson Hayley Fitchett Sophie Burtt Irene Boles Chris Hyslop Brent Toms Karishma Kumar Charlotte Johnson Mike Blackburn Ernette Hutchings-Mason, RPP, MCIP
