Public meeting about housing intensification

Are you concerned about housing developments in St Albans – come to a public meeting at the St Albans Community Centre at 7pm on April 20 and find out more. Hear what our MP Duncan Webb has to say about this and ask questions.

There is a housing crisis with not enough houses available to purchase. The government is serious about getting more houses built but will this come with no restraints on poor design and compromised amenity?

The National Policy Statement on Urban Development is in the process of being implemented. The Government has signalled that the Resource Management Act will be replaced.

The scope of legislation about housing intensification has alarmed some people. Concerns have been raised that there will be no consultation and no one to complain to.

What does this mean for communities such as St Albans zoned for higher density development?
