Finance Minister Bill English is signalling a ramp-up of Government intervention in Auckland's private sector housing market. "The Government will be a provider for the next 10 years of significant numbers of medium-density, medium-priced housing into the Auckland market," he told the Herald in an interview. "Over the next six months, you'll also see a growing understanding of the size of the Government building programme and that will have an effect on the market. He said Auckland's new Unitary Plan allowed Housing New Zealand to increase the number of houses it could have on its land from up to 30,000 previously to 69,000 under the new plan. "And we are going to do it." That would include the renewal of social housing stock where that was required "but it will generate an extra 30,000 houses."
Labour's Phil Twyford welcomed greater Government intervention but said it is typical of National when it came to housing policy. "It's a day late and a dollar short." For the past five years, it had been pouring scorn on the idea of a Government-backed building programme, "conjuring up the idea of great Soviet-style apartment blocks". "The abject failure of their policy to deliver any kind of significant increase in houses that people can actually live in has dragged them kicking and screaming towards the idea of more Government intervention in building." Twyford was also concerned that Housing New Zealand could sell off too much of its land to the private sector and leave it short in future to increase its own stock.

English's comments suggest that within the next six months there will be a lot more developments of the kind announced last month for Northcote which will replace 300 existing homes with 1200. Of the 1200, two thirds will be for the private sector. Continued below.
