On May 3rd, 2025, TT Concrete Ltd was honored to attend the New Zealand Chinese Business Club (NZCBC) 2025 Annual Gala Dinner, held at JW Marriott Hotel in Auckland. Themed “The Future of New Zealand’s Economy – Immigration Policy and the Real Estate Market”, the event brought together political leaders and business professionals to explore the country’s economic outlook and key policy directions.
Key speakers included:
- Hon. Erica Stanford, Minister of Immigration and Education
- Hon. Paul Goldsmith, Minister of Justice
- Peter Thompson, Managing Director of Barfoot & Thompson
Minister Erica Stanford shared her recent immigration reforms, including reducing visa processing time to just 20 days. She emphasized the importance of enabling high-net-worth immigrants to purchase homes in New Zealand to help them settle and contribute meaningfully. Minister Goldsmith addressed the government’s tougher stance on crime, including reintroducing the “Three Strikes” law and revoking voting rights for prisoners. Peter Thompson presented in-depth property market insights, backed by detailed charts and data reflecting post-COVID trends and international influences.
For TT Concrete, the event was an invaluable opportunity to connect with fellow industry leaders and gain fresh perspectives on how immigration and housing policies may shape construction demands. The speeches and discussions offered important signals for concrete suppliers and construction partners as we prepare for future market developments.
We were proud to stand alongside sponsors and peers from across the industry, and deeply appreciate NZCBC for creating such a high-caliber networking and learning environment. TT Concrete remains committed to excellence, collaboration, and supporting New Zealand’s growth with quality concrete solutions.
