I'm sure there'll be a pretty good population hike around Xmas when all the covid babies are born
The rules are clear that Covid-19 will not be allowed but what about just the Covid part? https://www.govt.nz/browse/family-an...ing-your-child |

Sadly, there are people elsewhere in the world that already saddled their poor little babies with names like Lockdown, Corona, Covid and Sanitiser.
I expect the names Ashley and Siouxsie might be popular in NZ this year. |

Still such a small population for a nation 20% larger than the UK. Bring on the migrants :)

Re: Population hits 5 million
Chch is an anomaly. So much building and development after the quake.
Dunedin house prices are through the roof and climbing. There's little room for new developments. New builds are mostly around the Mosgiel area and are already expensive. Much of the land is flood plain and remedying that costs, which pushes prices up. Away from there development tends to be in a narrow strip along SH1.Central has little or no room to grow, there just isn't the employment, industry or infrastructure. It isn't as easy as simply opening the gates for more migrants. If providing affordable housing was simple kiwibuild wouldn't be the monumental disaster that it is |

If providing affordable housing was simple kiwibuild wouldn't be the monumental disaster that it is As for developing surrounding land pushing prices up, Christchurch is largely built on marshland, after the earthquake most of the subdivisions were built around satellite towns such as Rangiora, Kaiapoi and Rolleston which are 20-30 mins drive outside town. Dunedin would also have to look at something similar and develop surrounding land and remove restrictions. Would that development push prices up? No, Unaffordable housing is largely down to inflated land prices which have went up 50% in 10 years. The issue is less about land availability and more about restrictions and red tape from greedy councils. I seen what happened when those restrictions were removed. Obviously Dunedin will need to invest in infrastructure to support this however it is clear this will need to be done sooner rather than later |
