529 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Minister of Housing: What was the total cost, if any, of the drones used in Kāinga Ora’s property inspection pilots that ran from November 2024 to February 2025?

Hon Chris Bishop: Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities advises me that drone inspections for the pilot were carried out by external contractors who provided their own drones as part of the contract. This is also my response to WPQ 530 (2026).
