Commit to a long-term future-forward plan for clean urban spaces and streetscapes, while also addressing the need for housing for today.
Commit to the inclusion of social housing throughout all of the Waipā District. Plan dedicated high-density subdivisions fit-for-purpose.
Review, and if necessary, evolve the already planned future land supply and zoning to ensure it will stand the '50 year test'.
Stop rezoning suburbs to stop the proposed higher density housing. Create pensioner housing as Waipā District Council has a greying population.
Stop any subdivisions for the time being. Ensure that our towns stay as the rural towns as they are.
Lobby for amendments to housing intensification legislation to allow for planned increased housing density in the correct places.
Develop a housing strategy to address issues of more affordable housing in Waipā.
Continue to protect our highly productive soils by limiting urban sprawl where possible.
