Mayor of Rotorua
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.

Push for policy research to implement Rotorua's Wood First policy to establish wood as a renewable, carbon-sequestering structural resource.
Dismantle Rotorua's homeless industry because it is underming law and order and preventing the recovery of tourism.
Exclude homeless and emigrants from population growth projections used to justify council's housing and spatial plans.
Fix Fenton St. by stopping inappropriate use of visitor motels for emergency housing, and taking motels who don't comply to court.
Complete a Rotorua Development Strategy to increase housing and job opportunities by planning well for development, urban growth, and transport.
Address housing crisis by removing barriers to building, unlocking land for development, and enabling smaller more affordable housing options.
Facilitate lower-income housing to meet needs. Planned zoning without forfeiting our reserves and our tourism industry.
Strengthen wood first initiative by encouraging designers and architects to increase use of timber. Upskill planners on new wood products.
Develop well managed and affordable housing communities. Recycle abandoned houses for family placement. Support weather-proofing houses.
The council needs to engage more with enabling rather than being the developer. Policies need to be fast tracked without cost pressures.
We need community providers to take over homeless housing. Our homeless plan needs not to see the district plan get violated and thrashed.
The bottleneck around building consents is choking the industry. Removing hazards such as peer reviews and more reviews is suffocating.
Review current building consent, land supply and zoning policies and processes to see if they can be more streamlined.
Leverage our surrounding land use and consents to purposely and innovatively create additional affordable housing.
Re-generate current existing neighbourhoods and communities to co-creation and investment and investment programs that meet the needs.
Fix Fenton Street. Move people back to their original communities for support. Build temporary housing outside of the CBD.
Get the council ahead of building consents. Currently taking too long.
Support government efforts to build more homes in Rotorua as soon as possible.
Support communities to have better public spaces and more local input into neighbourhood improvements.
Ensure we have enough housing capacity and the right type of housing for the needs of our community.
Work with government, iwi, and providers to make sure homelessness and poverty are being addressed and that council is part of the solution.
