Auckland Council
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.

Limit council's role to infrastructure and mediating disputes between property owners.
Recognise housing as a private good that is rivalrous and excludable, and therefore best provided by the free market rather than the council.
Treat homelessness in crisis as an emergency service issue and recognise permanent housing is not the council's role.
Advocate for new builds to have adequate off-street parking including for visitors due to safety risks with cars parked on each side of the road.
Continue pushing for infrastructure to match growth. I have supported investment in water, transport and community facilities in the area.
Support building more homes near transport hubs and out of flood-prone areas to address the housing crisis. Work with government to address homelessness.
Advocate for reforms that simplify and speed up regulatory and approval processes, enabling faster, more efficient housing development.
Advocate for strategic infrastructure investments that maximise value, minimise waste and support long-term resilience and sustainability.
Collaborate with communities to guide development in ways that protect local character, heritage and values while accommodating growth.
