New Zealand will drastically ease restrictions on land use in a bid to “flood the market” with land for homes.
Housing minister says the country will override the powers of local councils to curb development.
New measures would require councils to free up “bucketloads” of additional space for housing development.
But Auckland 's mayor decries the fresh measures, saying they will lead to urban sprawl.
Bishop said building standards would remain unchanged. “People often complain to me about all these shoebox apartments and I agree that they won’t be the right housing solution for everyone,” he said. “But do you know what is smaller than a shoebox apartment? A car or an emergency housing motel room.”.
