Policies

Create clear guidelines to allow people to build alternative housing or dwellings during the housing crisis.

Build high density council homes to address some of our dire housing needs.

Rezone and release land for division to allow for affordable housing to be built.

Remove the red tape from the consents process make it easily understandable and practical.

Hire a specialist to go through the rental properties to ensure sure that all homes that are rented are meeting the healthy home standards.

Have additional emergency housing available by using council land to build emergency housing.

Totally aware there is a deficit in housing availability and high rental rental, which is on Rotorua District Council's radar first build Ohakune.

Building consents are a complicated nightmare and there is little to no support. We need advocates to navigate the system.

Where people are homeless or living in substandard conditions, there should be support to increase their living conditions, not punish them.

Where playgrounds are available: shade, toilets and drinking water need to also be delivered, especially over active play zones.
