1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: So how do counsels, back to other matters, fit into

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: the government's new housing plan announced yesterday? It's out, it's up.

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: Are there are questions around infrastructure like pipes and roads

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: and lights. Basically, councils will have to plan for thirty

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: years worth of housing development. The funger Amia Vince Cocarilla

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: is back with us. Vince morning, Good morning, Mike. Did

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: you like what you heard of? You had the rug

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: pulled out from under you a bit?

9
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: No, I, personally from our council's side of them, I

10
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: do like what's actually announced. Does it basically aligned with

11
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: what we presently already do?

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Okay, So if councils have got something in place, are

13
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: you tier one or tier two? Are you part of

14
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: this equation? Are you outside of this?

15
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: We're only tier two. We were forced by the previous

16
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: government to do the FDS refuge to film. The strategy

17
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: for have been design, whereas previously we're in actually already

18
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: done our growth strategy, but previous government forced us to

19
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: do this.

20
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you've already got a plan, then what

21
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: was announced yesterday won't be a problem. Do things like

22
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: balconies in nineteen twenty square meter apartments bother you or

23
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: you and a part of the country where that's not

24
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: even an issue.

25
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: Look, we've got a lot of people. Look this is

26
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: probably the biggest thing, and that's a big thing. People

27
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: need to be able to choice. In Sangoa. The smallest

28
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: tousands that have actually got in tanged A probably a

29
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: one hundred square meters. We've also got your own granny

30
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 2: flats which you are about sixty square medus, so they

31
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: are here in Sangaday. I think from what Minister Bishop

32
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: was putting up there was about making sure that choice

33
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: is available and for those Tier one councils, which is

34
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: often and Willington places, they need to have places which

35
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 2: are affordable for students who are studying or for people

36
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 2: who need housing.

37
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: What's your view on developers, The argument being if developers

38
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: see a profit and they will provide the pipes and

39
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: do the infrastructure and they can make it work, is

40
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: that fair or not.

41
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: Yes. What we've done in Huga Hay is we've agreed

42
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: with what you're saying. They're about developers in it. How

43
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: we have also done is two thousand and seven when

44
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: I started council, we did a growth strategy. We worked

45
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: out where the infrastructure needs to be, so we're actually

46
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: put in place called Velloum contribution. Now there are some

47
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: councils who don't have that. We do. So when it

48
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: developer says, ok I'm going to do's development in this area,

49
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: we put the price on each property and say okay,

50
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: then may be going towards the infrastructure in that area

51
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: to complete their project, so that it actually allows for

52
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: the pipes to be upgraded, the roads are upgraded, and

53
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: will make the side of things.

54
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 1: You almost sound like you've got your act together and

55
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: fung arrangments.

56
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: Well, we've been working on it a long time, Mike,

57
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: A long time.

58
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: Good time. You makee go well. This week in Vince

59
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: Cocilla funger amea meantime, I note that Auckland's bitching as

60
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: usual because they were too busy having a vote on

61
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: it yesterday. That that makes absolutely no difference. But heaven forbid,

62
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: you should do something when you can have a vote

63
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: that means nothing.
