Massive housing shortfall forecast

Saturday, 16 November 2019

Developer Malcolm Gillies says councils need to be proactive in identifying the development potential in their regions to accommodate population growth.

A council commissioned assessment has revealed that under current rules the Wellington region won't be able to keep up with new housing demand..

After twenty twenty seven council rules would begin to smother the ability of developers to supply enough new homes.

Wellington City alone could face a shortfall of up to twelve thousand homes.
