Phil Nixon on whirlwind year of growth for Taranaki

Covid hasn't stopped Taranaki's housing market booming this year.  South Taranaki mayor Phil Nixon says in a whirlwind year, growth in the area has been a highlight.  Housing demand has been so high, developers have brought forward the next stage of site sales for a new residential community – known as Longview – by five months.  South Taranaki mayor Phil Nixon told Tim Dower it's been fantastic. “We’ve had unprecedented number of subdivisions, new houses, our business park is going very well, and all this has led to the fact that we’ve actually been ranked as having one of the fastest rates of growth.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
