Allow residents to build and enjoy their land without interference or costly delays from council.
Cut red tape so building homes becomes faster, cheaper and free from endless council bureaucracy.
Ensure zoning rules and infrastructure provide enough housing to meet demand without pushing up rates.

Ensure design standards include accessibility requirements so that all new homes built are open to everyone.
Protect heritage, including historical, cultural and environmental, while allowing the city to build the housing and infrastructure needed.
Link housing consents to infrastructure so new builds do not overload roads, schools or pipes.
Mandate an infrastructure test for every big housing project: no proof of readiness, no green light.
Require community infrastructure levies on massive intensification projects to fund schools, health and transport.
