Connal Townsend, chief executive of the Property Council, says, “Mr Carter has repeatedly made public statements proclaiming the benefits of requiring developers to allocate a portion of residential developments to ‘affordable housing’. So it is only right that he provides information about his policy intentions”.
“Development contributions are already driving up the cost of residential properties. The Auckland City Council’s development contributions policy alone will mean its new homeowner levy on CBD apartments will increase from around $7,000 to over $40,000.”
The Property Council’s complaint is based on the principle that Carter is not entitled to withhold information about a public policy issue that he is discussing in the public domain.
