National Leader Christopher Luxon answers questions surrounding his statement that national got it wrong on the Medium Density Residential Standard. National Party leader Christopher Luxon has revealed he intends to change the rules on housing density, if he forms the next government. The rules Luxon wants to scrap allowing three-storey dwellings on all residential land in the main cities. Luxon was the National leader at the time of the vote and his deputy, Nicola Willis, was one of the bill’s principal sponsors. Although Luxon says density along transport corridors would be retained, this is a backtrack on his own position and the position of his party.
