Thank you to all who made a submission.
Overview
The Going for Housing Growth programme is part of the Government’s broader plan to tackle Aotearoa New Zealand’s ongoing housing shortage. It’s structured around three pillars that make system changes to address the underlying causes of the housing supply shortage.
These are:
- Pillar 1: Freeing up land for urban development, including removing unnecessary planning barriers
- Pillar 2: Improving infrastructure funding and financing to support urban growth
- Pillar 3: Providing incentives for communities and councils to support growth.
Together, these three pillars have an objective of improving housing affordability by significantly increasing the supply of developable land for housing, both inside and at the edge of our urban areas.
