Public consultation opens for review of the Retirement Villages Act

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has opened public consultation for its review of the Retirement Villages Act in order to seek feedback from the retirement villages sector and the public on proposed changes to the Retirement Villages Act 2003, regulations and codes.

HUD have produced a discussion paper outlining proposals related to the three main stages of retirement living – moving in, living in, and moving out.

The discussion paper also seeks information and feedback on other matters such as those related to the definition of retirement village, insurance, the operation of the Retirement Villages Register, and the Code of Practice.

Consultation closes on Monday 20 November 2023.
