Beautify the city, as this aids mental health and improved night lighting will make the city safer at night.
Further look into the consent process to make the renovation process easier, with less pain points.
Look at rezoning the industrial area around the Wingate area to accomodate more housing, and feasibility on Eastern Hills housing developments.
Ensure council's regulatory teams are resourced to meet statutory deadlines for consents to avoid construction delays and added costs.
Put up some real resistance to the government's plans to allow up to six-story accommodation blocks throughout many of our neighbourhoods.
Deliver infrastructure needed to support housing growth with appropriate funding via development contributions.
Continue to oppose government's approach for blanket intensification. It should be targeted with the infrastructure to support development.
Introduce infrastructure requirements, and ensure that developers continue to pay their fair share of growth costs.
Continue our partnerships with community housing providers and iwi to build more homes for families who need it the most.
