House prices rise when not enough houses are available to meet resident and non-resident demand, and when low interest rates and income growth allow people to bid up prices. Recent price declines in Australia have led some to suggest Auckland will follow.

Copper and zinc concentrations in Auckland urban streams indicate they may be contributors to degraded ecological health (Mills & Williamson 2008) but these are not currently included as attributes in the National Objectives Framework (NOF) of the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2014 (NPS-FM). This discussion paper summarises work undertaken towards developing copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) as Auckland-specific freshwater attributes for ecosystem health. Although the work is incomplete, Auckland Council recognises a need for the work undertaken to be publicly available to enable other organisations to use the information and proceed with the tasks identified as required for attribute development.
