Regional Housing Action Plan
The Regional Housing Action plan was developed to explore how relevant organisations in the region can unite to positively impact the housing market, and to develop a short-term (five-year) region-wide housing action plan that includes a stocktake of current activity, and identifies actions to increase housing in the short term.
The project also focused on how relevant organisations in the region can together positively impact the housing market.
The Regional Housing Action plan document on this page provides information on the context for the Action Plan and key actions. Actions currently underway and/or information on the actions from the plan include:
- Wellington City Council affordable rental programme Te Kāinga affordable rental programme – Projects – Wellington City Council
- Targeted incentives – explore and implement. This action has been included in the Future Development Strategy Implementation Plan – for more on that see Te Rautaki Whanaketanga ki tua a Wairarapa- Wellington- Horowhenua | Future Development Strategy: Implementation Plan (wrlc.org.nz)
- Progressing Complex Development Opportunities (these have since been renamed Priority Development Areas) – information on the current PDAs for this region can be found at Priority Development Areas – WRLC.
- Regional dashboard – this is now live on this WRLC website and includes economic data WRLC Housing Data.
Other actions listed in the Regional Housing Action plan are either not now relevant (ie due to a change in government policy), the WRLC or associated groups have agreed not to progress (eg a regional housing entity) or have not yet started.
