Minister of RMA Reform approves most of Wellington City Council's District Plan recommendations, supporting affordable housing and intensification.
The Green Party welcomes the Minister of RMA Reform's approval of most of Wellington City Council's District Plan recommendations, supporting more affordable housing and residential intensification. Minister Chris Bishop agreed with nine out of ten alternative zoning recommendations, including 15-minute walkable catchments, reduced character protections, and building height changes. This decision shows commitment from both local and central government to address Wellington's housing crisis, as the city expects 50-80,000 more residents in the next 30 years.
