Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: The Bay of Plenty, and particularly Rotorua, is one of the most challenging areas we have for housing. There is a very simple reason for this: there simply are not enough houses. Over the last decade, the population of Rotorua has grown by around 9,000 people. However, there have only been 1,500 consents granted in Rotorua, most of those in the last two years. There simply have not been enough homes built in that area, and that is why Rotorua was one of the first cabs off the rank in the Infrastructure Acceleration Fund, as was Tauranga through the Infrastructure Acceleration Fund. Our Government is finally backing this region to make sure that we can have more homes built. Other Governments have not done so.
