Statutory managers appointed to Du Val group

21 August 2024

At 18:00 on 21 August 2024, John Fisk, Stephen White and Lara Bennett of PwC New Zealand were appointed statutory managers of 70 entities associated with the Du Val property development group (“Du Val”). The statutory management suspends the Court-appointed interim receivership appointments that were made on 2 August 2024 for the majority of the Du Val group entities. A full list of the entities that are now in statutory management is attached to this release.

John Fisk, Partner, says, “We are keen to ensure construction works continue on the active construction projects Du Val has and that it is business as usual for the rental properties. Our initial focus will be to preserve and realise best value for all stakeholders. We will be communicating with all creditors and investors, and will be conducting a thorough investigation. We will provide creditors and investors with regular updates on the progress of the statutory management.”

Du Val is a developer of large-scale residential property projects in the Auckland area. The statutory management appointment was made following the submission of a report by PwC to the High Court. The initial receivers’ appointment was made by the High Court on application of the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

Please direct any further enquiries regarding the appointment to the FMA.

Du Val investors and creditors with questions on the statutory management process should contact PwC New Zealand at nz_duval@pwc.com.
