What do you think? Is a bigger role in housing something the Council should pursue? Considering costs and climate change impacts, how should we renew the Paekākāriki seawall? Does it make sense to set up a CCO (council-controlled organisation)? Do you want Council to explore how it could have a role in the airport?
