Gordon Wilson is Dead, Long Live Affordable Housing
- Salient
- Last Thursday, Wellington City Council passed what Councillor Nīkau Wi Neera described as “the most pro-housing, ambitious set of amendments that we could”, as the council voted on changes to the District Plan. The meeting saw the council’s biggest break from the NIMBY-ism which has defined housing policy in the city for decades. W after W for affordable housing flashed onto the council’s voting screens. So overwhelming were the wins for affordable housing that Councillor Nicola Young may have been left with a mild case of amnesia, saying “I’m so numb about the district plan I can barely remember what [the amendments] are.”

Selling council housing is not the answer
- Wellington Scoop
- The Wellington City Council made a peculiar decision last week, unanimously. In one resolution there was a good decision, and then a bad decision undermining the good decision. The good decision was that the Council supported advocacy to the Government for financial assistance for those most in need of rental relief through an income related rental subsidy (IRRS), available to state housing tenants, but denied to Council tenants. The bad decision was that it resolved to begin a process of getting rid of its exemplary award-winning Council housing and to start a distracting and entangled process of slowly but sur

On your books
- Architectural Centre Inc
- In the mean time - here’s a round up on projects completing, underway, or even just starting off, as there a couple of new cranes that have appeared over Christmas. The big push around Wellington at the moment is of course the Housing Upgrade Project. A number of well-respected practices around town have got a project or two in there - with a total of about 20 WCC housing projects to upgrade, we’re guessing there is some work in there to last for a few years

City Housing Policy Changes
- Downtown Community Ministry
- Wellingtonians should comment our Council for staying firmly in the business of social housing provision. Their draft policy for the city’s social housing service describes a vision of affordable and safe accommodation for Wellingtonians in need. It also provides details on the Housing Upgrade Project (HUP) with Housing New Zealand.

Manufacturing Consent in The Capital / Media Collusion in Wellington?
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- This week in the Capital's politics the temperature rose steeply over the District Plan and infill housing. That was driven by the City's news maker the Dompost with a series of reports designed to give a favourable impression of a Council that has been papering over the cracks of a permissive District Plan.
