Estate Regeneration

Over the next two decades we're undertaking a regeneration project like no other in New Zealand, with the biggest ever renewal of our Defence Force camps and bases now underway across the country.

The estate regeneration programme signals 104 projects over the next five years including replacing buildings, upgrading utilities, new barracks, new headquarter buildings, workshops upgrades and new logistics facilities.

We have a first-class New Zealand Defence Force, and to be the best we can be we need the right tools for the job – and that includes our infrastructure, buildings and facilities.

We’re regenerating our estate so that our Defence Force can operate more efficiently and effectively. Our footprint of camps and bases will remain the same – but it’s how we modernise, that will be different.

We’re building a better future - one with better infrastructure, better camps and bases, and better workplaces for our military and civilian staff so that we continue to protect and enhance the security of New Zealanders and our neighbours.
