Mr Roberts said the initiative, called the Regional Housing Flying Squad, would help regional councils clear development applications faster.
A panel of planning consultants will be available to help manage development applications for new homes.
"We know attracting qualified planners can be a problem, particularly for smaller regional councils," Mr Roberts said.
Regional councils will be able to nominate DAs that deliver regional housing, through a formal expression of interest process, which will be assessed by an evaluation panel for the flying squads to action.
These planning tools are designed to boost regional housing supply by taking pressure off councils.
