The New Zealand government has specific rules regulating the purchase of certain types of land by people who are not New Zealand citizens or residents.

New Zealand citizens, as well as citizens of Australia and Singapore, may purchase any land in New Zealand without restriction.

Some categories of “special” land require consent from the Overseas Investment Office (OIO), which administers the Overseas Investment Act. This Act governs when and how non‐New Zealanders may buy land that is subject to these restrictions.

Recent legislative updates have introduced new pathways that may allow non‐New Zealanders to obtain consent to purchase certain types of land.

The Plateau management team has reviewed these changes and is able to provide guidance and recommendations to assist non‐New Zealanders seeking to acquire lots within The Plateau development.
