said. "We're responding to our survey we did this year that identified the need for quality accommodation with long-term secured tenure for people working in our town. "This represents a good opportunity to cater for them." Mr Cole said housing would not be the sole use of Lakeview. He said he did not see competition evolving between the trust and iwi subsidiary as the council was looking for a collaborative strategy. Mr Burns said most of Lakeview would remain undeveloped at the moment and would be reconsidered in the future when market conditions were more favourable. "Proceeding with discussions on the two proposals allows council to sort out how it will finalise the structure plan that makes cohesive use of the whole site," he said.
