As Wellington City Council's six-month Housing Action Plan report came to the table at its strategy and policy committee meeting on Wednesday, the draft spatial plan, social housing and affordability became hot topics.
Councillor Tamatha Paul warned her colleagues that a change in attitude was needed if the city is to prosper.
"If we want to keep [Wellington] grey and dull and boring, and if we want to keep going the way we're going with the debate we’re having then it’s quickly going to be the city no one wants to live in, especially not young people.
We don't fix housing affordability by having no supply – that doesn’t make any sense to me and to me, it's making the problem of social housing worse because we’re pricing people out."

Apple green and cream variegated leaves with pink and white double blooms all through the Summer.
Does very well in pots, maybe even better than in the ground. Happy enough in the ground though. Does need a bit of protection from frosts like most Geraniums.
One rhubarb plant potted in large pot.
Coming away for the spring growth after winter dormancy.
Can be moved into the ground out of its pot.
Easy to grow. Comes up year after year.
When cooking the stalks, bring them to the boil then empty the water off, and recook with some sugar to taste. … View moreOne rhubarb plant potted in large pot.

He's for sale because we've used him 2yrs and we're introducing new blood and need to make room. He's a blue pattern but heterozygous for both moorit and spotting, which means he can produce brown and spotted lambs. All of his lambs with us have been twins. He's entirely non-aggressive, kept in working farm conditions not as a pet, good ram with ewes or hoggets. Not gonna lie he smells pretty rank, but the ladies seem to like it. :)
If you're looking to add some colour to your fleeces with an easy keeping ram that produces saleable lambs, he's a good choice. Pictures show him in about 5 months' wool, and some of the colours he's produced for us this year.
