Short Answer
Official Whitby Lakes disclosure covering the current operator and BeGroup management structure, 132-dwelling composition, resident committee, staff roles and a small historical resale sample.
Key Points
- •The village had 61 villas and 71 apartments, with 126 occupied and six vacant at 26 September 2025.
- •Four previously occupied dwellings disposed in the prior 12 months averaged 161 days; villas averaged 117 days and one apartment 294 days.
- •The sample is historical, small and excludes unsold dwellings, so it does not establish a cause or current sales position.
- •BeGroup Investments II LP wholly owns the operator and BeGroup Management Limited is the contracted manager.
- •The disclosure identifies Vicki Hayward as Sales Manager but does not name a current Village Manager.

Consumer NZ’s twenty-eight-page submission dated 20 November 2023 responds to HUD’s Options for Change consultation.
Major consumer advocacy milestone. 41,373 signatures demanding: full repayment within 3 months, interim payment of 10% or $50K within 5 days, interest on late payments, public disclosure of timeframes. 84% of surveyed NZers support fixed repayment deadlines. The June 2026 capture linked the petition to an amendment bill then expected in July 2026; that timing is a historical expectation, not the current legislative timetable.
Official September 2026 update replaces the June capture’s July introduction expectation: bill planned for the next Parliamentary term, no dated introduction commitment. Revised proposals include nine-month repayment and an initial 10% within four weeks, with exemptions and limited application to future agreements. Other proposed fee and capital-loss protections would cover existing agreements too.
