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.

    All presiding banks and the Reserve Bank could change housing accessibility if they chose. Yawn.
