Promote continued investment and development council housing to above government healthy living standards.
Promote and investigation of the feasibility of a rates rebate for over 65's and single parent households.
Promote the establishment of a ratepayer funded portfolio with the intent of the earnings rebated back to contributors as a rate rebate.
Restrict housing development in flood prone/low lying areas.
Consider building on piles, if building in low lying areas, so houses can be moved in the future if need be.
Advocate for good quality housing with an emphasis in stamping out dampness and cold so everyone can have a dry, healthy home in our community.
Engage a community voice that considers sustainable growth as the District Plan progresses.
Say no to housing density. Fight government overreach on this in rural towns. Three storeys, no consent, evades privacy, escalates crime.
YES, to logical zoning. Expanding Rangiora in line with services, jobs and facilities. Creating open spaces for creation and outdoor pursuits.
Create affordable housing for local service workers and first-time homebuyers to create a balanced community.
We need to think carefully before building on our green and fertile fields. Once the concrete is laid, they will never produce food again.
With my extensive construction background, I know what good housing looks like. Warm, dry, safe homes are a basic human right.
I know how confusing and frustrating red tape can seem. I want to untangle that tape and ensure clear, sensible processes are in place.
