Mr Hurley said on Monday a plan had been discussed by the council at a workshop two months ago, to develop 70 low-cost houses in a subdivision in Motueka south.
"One of the difficulties we face is a lot of development has been on higher-value land and we have a distortion in the marketplace.
"That has meant the price of property is beyond the reach of many, so this is a genuine endeavour to meet the housing needs in the town."
