The last hold-outs against housing development

from Q+A with Jack Tame · host Q+A with Jack Tame

With just one new housing development, the town of Prebbleton, on the outskirts of Christchurch, could increase its total number of households by over 25 percent. Birchs Village would bring 530 new houses to Prebbleton. After facing difficulties getting resource consent, the development has been listed with the Government's fast-track legislation. Q+A reporter Whena Owen meets the development's would-be neighbours, who are fearful of what their future in the town holds if it goes ahead. Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.
