Information

then draft structures in early to mid next year. Urban development options will fit with this.

before the LGWM Board meeting.

When supply would catch up with demand for housing? Liam H noted a back-of-pad deficit of 6,500
houses, with 8 -10 years to catch up.
A briefing on The Property Group estimates on MRT was requested. Amy K and Andrew W can
present this.
Minister report back should include what interventions are required to make urban developmment
happen. BAU won’t be enough. Type of interventions leads to decision on the delivery model.
