A property developer says plans for new housing in Dunedin are already ''broken'' as the city's population surges. He was commenting after Dunedin City Council yesterday published its finalised second generation district plan (2GP), which charted the course for city development over at least the next decade. The plan included rezoning 190ha of new land for residential development, providing space for up to 1200 new homes. Council city development manager Anna Johnson said 1200 homes was not meant to be an accurate estimate. There's only one place for affordable housing and that's on the flattest possible land ... which means the Taieri, frankly.''
