Stating that steps have been taken to make the work of tradespeople and workers in the construction sector easier, Luxon said, "Tradespeople, we are making your jobs easier. We are reducing bureaucratic barriers, allowing more overseas construction materials to be used, facilitating the construction of additional homes, and accelerating the approval process."

Referring to the importance of the fair in terms of seeing innovations in the sector, Prime Minister Luxon said, "It was great to see the impact it creates when I went to the Bunnings Trade Fair today together with Minister for Building and Construction Chris Penk."

Luxon added, “With the participation of more than 1,600 tradespeople and around 90 suppliers, it was an opportunity to see the tools, products, and innovations that help build New Zealand.”
