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.

Include green and arts space in large developments.
Support well-designed denser housing near town centres and transport nodes for better access to local shops, services and public transport.
Develop 30-year area plans where housing growth is expected to plan for the amenities and infrastructure needed for density done well.
Acquire new pocket and neighbourhood parks in areas of housing growth to provide sufficient green space for a growing population.
Support building more houses closer to transport hubs and town centres with greater use of mixed-use zoning.
Support increasing development contributions for greenfields development to cover the increased cost of urban sprawl.
Support measures to house people experiencing homelessness by exploring council partnerships that more directly provide housing.
Support well-designed housing that balances growth with preserving the character and heritage of suburbs.
Ensure new developments include the infrastructure, parks and transport needed for thriving, connected communities.
Encourage a mix of affordable, well-designed and built housing options so families and young people can live locally.
Balance growth with character, enable smart density where it fits whilst protecting heritage and green spaces.
Strengthen building quality standards to ensure safe, dry and weather-tight homes for all.
Streamline consenting to cut delays and costs, making it easier to build quality, affordable homes.
Install double-specced solar and batteries on appropriate council assets, which pay off in six years and can then be sold back or distributed.
