Encourage building new housing along rapid transport links and limit infill housing townhouse development to two stories in height.
Limit over-the-top spending on urban landscapes and encourage better parks and recreation investment.
Support cutting council costs in consenting and making the process easier and cheaper to build homes to provide cheaper housing.
Ensure building consents enable community, recreational space, and vibrant streetscapes, and protect permeable surfaces to prevent flooding.
Prevent further sprawl and loss of arable and other green spaces by enabling medium or high density development where appropriate.
Reduce homelessness and improve housing affordability through future-focussed urban planning.
Build homes near transport hubs and town centres to improve access, reduce commutes and support sustainable, walkable communities.
Encourage mixed-use zoning to blend local shops and businesses with homes, fostering vibrant, walkable communities.
Facilitate improvements to city centre precincts and integrate the City Rail Link to increase footfall and improve community experience.
