The Palmerston North City Council, under its current vision, requires a mandate to be able to consider what their options are to provide necessary plan requirements for land-use outcomes. Those outcomes could be land for housing, land for infrastructure, proper town planning, and built environment under the required legal processes. This could also include effective transport routes using district plan processes to achieve its all overall outcomes. But it has to find that balance, and it has to ease the city's planning for the local housing stock. And for that, it must have the legal mechanism in order to effect this.
