Affordable housing in Auckland

Renter demand in Auckland is forecast to increase by 63 per cent over the next 20 years and it is unclear whether the current market can meet this demand.

This is a panel discussion with NZIER’s Shamubeel Eaqub, Deputy Mayor of Auckland Penny Hulse, MP Alfred Ngaro and Auckland Property Investors Association’s David Whitburn.

This conversation focuses on how we can achieve an effective rental market in Auckland.
