Salvation Army Social Policy and Parliamentary Unit.   How much social housing do we need? The question of how much social housing we need in Aotearoa New Zealand is something of a ‘wicked problem’—one that relies on first answering a number of conditional questions.

The Auckland Council regularly monitors groundwater levels and quality (physical, chemical and microbiological properties) within some of the region’s aquifers as part of its state of the environment (SoE) programme. The primary purpose of the SoE groundwater programme is to provide information on the status and long-term trends of groundwater at a regional scale, thus providing evidence for availability and the sustainability of water allocation. The results enable Auckland Council to assess if the groundwater is suitable for potable supply, supporting plant and animal life when discharged as baseflow to rivers, saline intrusion risk and how groundwater quality changes over time.

The rental sector is a significant aspect of Auckland’s housing landscape. The percentage of households recorded as renting their home is greater in Auckland than any other region in New Zealand. Rental affordability in Auckland has been an enduring issue; the median rental cost is $536 per week (MBIE, 2017), which for an average earner would account for more than 30 per cent of their income, and be classified as unaffordable.
