Hon WILLIE JACKSON: Building houses on the Chatham Islands, Rēkohu, Wharekauri, is difficult logistically, and made even harder because banks don't really lend there. There's also the need for skills and tradespeople that aren't readily available on the Chathams. So it can cost $100,000 more to build a house on the island than it would to build it on mainland New Zealand. So the houses are being built offshore and they will arrive by barge by mid-year, with our whānau ready to move in shortly after that.
