The draft report says a combination of population growth and social change means up to 86,000 new homes, more that previously thought, will be needed by 2048. However, it warns the growth in satellite towns like Rangiora and Rolleston will lead to increased traffic congestion without better public transport.
Estimates have put greater Christchurch's population in 30 years at between 618,000 and 742,000, up from 428,000 now.

Keep your eyes peeled for the latest scam to be fooling Kiwis. Scammers are taking advantage of people looking for a home to call their own, creating fake competitions and giveaways to win a tiny home.
A recent scam asked people to sign up on their page which went through a process of multiple surveys so the scammers can collect more information about the Facebook user in the hope of collecting personal details, including bank accounts. To read all about the scam, click here.
A fraud education manager says:
- People are helping the scammers by liking and sharing the post as it spreads the virus
- As soon as you like the Facebook post it gives scammers access to information
- If unsure whether it's a scam or not, look for terms and conditions - often these scams do not have them
- If you think you've been made a victim of an online scam, contact Netsafe and report it immediately. You can access Netsafe's page here.
