Ms Ardern and her cabinet will be sworn in tomorrow.
Announcing the coalition deal yesterday between Labour and New Zealand First, and the confidence and supply agreement with the Green Party, Ms Ardern said the majority of people voted for change to the status quo.
''That's why we are committed to taking a new approach to how our country is governed and how the economy is managed.
''We will be determined and focused on what needs to change to make life better for all New Zealanders.''
As a priority, the Government would restore funding to the health system to allow access for all, ensure all New Zealanders could live in warm dry homes, take action on child poverty and homelessness, crack down on foreign speculators, clean up rivers and strengthen efforts to tackle climate change and the transition to a low carbon economy, she said.
The Government would focus on sustainable economic development, supporting regional economies, increasing exports, lifting wages and reducing inequality.
''We are committed to being fiscally responsible and growing the economy while ensuring all New Zealanders share in our economic prosperity.''
Economic growth must go hand-in-hand with environmental responsibility.
As part of the deal with NZ First, a $1billion annual regional development fund would be established.
Otago Chamber of Commerce chief executive Dougal McGowan said the establishment of a regional fund created a sense of urgency for regional New Zealand.
''We are hearing the words 'regional development' but so far, nothing has come out.
''I hope it is not geared just towards North Island regions and there is something in here for the South. I am a great advocate of bringing businesses to our region.''
The new Government could mitigate risks and cut expenses by moving departments to Dunedin.
Dunedin had gigabit internet, which had already proved an advantage for enterprises moving to the city. There was office space available and more was being planned.
The chamber wanted to ensure taxpayer money was used in the best interests of regions and the country as a whole, Mr McGowan said.
The Taxpayers Union would be closely watching the regional development fund to ensure economic rigour - cost-benefit analysis and value for money - was given priority over political expediency, executive director Jordan Williams said.
Without discipline and oversight, economic development very quickly turned into pork-barrelling and corporate welfare.
''This was the very thing Labour rightly accused the National-led government of, when it came to regional farming and irrigation initiatives.''
The confidence and supply agreement between Labour and the Greens directly threatened the integrity of the National Land Transport Fund, Road Transport Forum chief executive Ken Shirley said.
Giving priority use of the fund towards rail infrastructure, cycling and walking showed contempt for the user-pays integrity of the fund.
''Unless Labour and the Greens have plans to start making rail users and cyclists contribute to the fund then this deal is a real kick in the teeth to motorists and the road transport industry,'' he said.
