Christchurch City Council
Housing and planning
Local councils are responsible for land use planning under the Resource Management Act, which affects where and how new houses are constructed, as well as the design of cities and towns. In some areas, councils also provide housing to those who need it most.

Housing needs to be supplied in a sustainable way. Our standards are below the rest of the world. We need to follow best practice.
Limit short term rentals in remote areas. Too many homes are being converted to short term rentals and that limits housing for workers.
Mass development needs to be curbed. And development needs to be near public transport options.
Reduce red tape for granting building consents.
Establish a homelessness coordinator to work with all interested parties and work on long term solutions.
Establish more dog parks.
Ensure over-intensification is addressed and prevented, and ensure exemptions across Banks Peninsula.
Involve communities in the growth and development of our city, and how best to utilise publicly-owned land parcels.
Support community housing across the city, and initiatives that upgrade existing stock to ensure we live in warm, dry homes.
