  Speaker 1: Gentleman announcing yesterday it's going to force all con Council
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: to allow new developments of at least fifteen stories next
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to key stations for the City rail Link. The new
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: rules will apply to developments within walking distance of Munga Foe,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: which is the new station, Kingsland Morningside. A ten story
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: limit would apply around Mount Albert and Baldwin have stations.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Campbell Dunoon is head of network at L J. Hooker
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and with me this morning. Campbell, good morning, Good morning Ryan.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Is this what people want?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Well? Well, hopefully. Look, I think it's a positive move
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: by the government. We need to do something to address it.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: But I think we have to accept we need consultation
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: here and we need to I guess a balanced approach
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: to the development.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: What do we need to consult about? I mean, does
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: it not make sense to go up? Given the traffic,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: given all the problems we've got in this city. If
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: we're going to build spend billions building a city rail link,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: then you know it doesn't not make sense to have
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: big buildings to house people next to them.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look it does. I mean, yes, you have to
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: go up. There's not the land to go Sideway so
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to speak. But I think people and our research shows
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: this is the key. We certainly want to have living
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: accommodation that gives them some sort of green space and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: practical amenities and so on and so forth. And I'm
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: also slightly concerned about the parking issue as well, because
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: you don't want cars all parked during the evening on
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: what is it, New North Road. So it'd be interesting
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to see what sort of the detail is in these plans.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and whether the government will force the council to
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: do that, because if you leave leave it up to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the council, they don't like car parks, do.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: They No, they don't. But look at the end of
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the day, it's about, you know, do you want to
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: force this on people do you want to work with them?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And I would prefer to see the latter. But all
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: in all, I think it's a pretty good idea and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: it's something we need. We just have to be pretty
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: careful how we manage the implementation of it.
• 1:52
