LGNZ has developed a podcast to bring interview experts from across disciplines to inform Councillors about key issues underpinning the planning and delivery of housing.  This is because housing is a significant issue for all councils. We need to get housing right for the sake of our communities’ social and economic futures.  Unaffordable housing is having a negative impact on local economies, discretionary household expenditure and social well-being.  This means addressing matters of supply, how social and community housing needs are met and the importance of healthy homes.  Underpinning the issue is the need for appropriate funding and financing.
