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.

  • Oppose our area being included in initiatives like the Medium Density Residential Standards until our infrastructure can handle it.

    Continue to support our area being impacted by qualifying matters preventing dense development until we are ready for it.

    Continue to support active development of land already consented for development encouraging housing affordability for our young people.

  • Support affordable home solutions for first home buyers.

    Support well planned growth for our townships and suburbs with proper investment.

    Support community engagement in regards to council housing.

  • Push for better infrastructure so that environment and the water system is ready to support the increased density under the new zoning laws.

    Ensure that any large developments have community and Mana Whenua support.

  • Committed to zero extension of the urban footprint in the green field areas.

    Encourage intensification of existing suburban areas and conversion of commercial to residential within 1km of existing transport hubs.

    Committed to prioritising investment in maintenance and upgrades to infrastructure that serves the areas we intensify.

  • Establish a requirement for green spaces to be included in the development of suburbs and higher density communities.

    Identify key areas for high density development near public transport and business hubs.

    Reduce special character areas to allow more development close to the city center.

  • Assess project by project relative to the location. Development contribution fees go to the community to improve/maintain the infrastructure.

    Council should not be responsible for social housing. It is a central government issue that needs to be dealt to without today's ideology.

    Knowledge is required to honestly assess, inspect and pass any building so accountability is a must whether builders, inspectors or designers.
