6. Question No. 6—Housing and Urban DevelopmentHon JUDITH COLLINS (National—Papakura) to the Minister of Housing and Urban DevelopmentQuestion No. 6—Housing and Urban Development6. Hon JUDITH COLLINS (National—Papakura) to the Minister of Housing and Urban Development: How many KiwiBuild homes has the Labour-led Government completed to date and how many will be completed by 1 July 2019?Hon PHIL TWYFORD (Minister of Housing and Urban Development): The Government aims to build 1000 KiwiBuild homes by 1 July 2019 ramping up to 5000 in 2019-20 and 10000 in 2020-21. The first 18 KiwiBuild homes are completed and the ballot is open for young families. I'm very glad to say there's been immense interest in these homes with more than 500 people going to the open home in the first weekend.Hon Judith Collins: Is it correct that the Mount Roskill development will cost $4 billion to develop over 15 years with roughly a quarter of the houses being KiwiBuild?Hon PHIL TWYFORD: Well I haven't seen the origin of the $4 billion figure—it may be a gross figure—but as I've pointed out to the member before that development will wash its face. It will break even over time and in the process—over a 10-year period—we will build 10000 new homes in that community with more than 2400 of them being affordable KiwiBuild homes for young families. People in that community have been waiting years and years to have a Government that will actually build affordable homes for young Kiwi families.Hon Judith Collins: What is the cost of the KiwiBuild component of the Mount Roskill development?Hon PHIL TWYFORD: I urge the member to do the maths. If you've got 2400 homes that are being sold within the Auckland KiwiBuild price caps—I leave the member to work that out. There is no subsidy in the KiwiBuild homes. There is no subsidy. We are simply choosing to build affordable homes that people desperately need.Hon Judith Collins: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. The question's pretty clear: what's the cost of the KiwiBuild component of the Mount Roskill development? This follows on from a question where the Minister says he doesn't know the origin of the $4 billion cost for Mount Roskill when he was actually the origin of the $4 billion cost—SPEAKER: Can the member come to the point of order?Hon Judith Collins: He should address the question. I don't believe he has.SPEAKER: He not only addressed it but he answered it.Hon Judith Collins: What is the time line of the KiwiBuild component of the Mount Roskill development?Hon PHIL TWYFORD: I have to say I appreciate the member's concern for the speedy progress that is being made in the Mount Roskill development. The houses are actually already being built. There is demolition under way infrastructure is being laid on the ground State houses are being built and KiwiBuild houses are being built. And we're going to roll out that build programme in Mount Roskill around the construction of the light rail line which is going to serve that community and in 10 years' time we will have built 10000 new homes in that community.Hon Judith Collins: If the Minister doesn't know the cost of the KiwiBuild development at Mount Roskill the time line for the KiwiBuild development in Mount Roskill and doesn't know where he got the $4 billion figure he was throwing around last week about Mount Roskill then why should anybody think he's going to do anything other than grin his way through while these poor houses are not being built?Hon PHIL TWYFORD: Well needless to say I reject every premise in that member's question and I would point out—if she's so concerned about public confidence I invite her to read the Ipsos survey results which came out last week that said that 50 percent of New Zealanders regarded housing and the housing crisis as being the major issue of concern for this country. Twice as many people said that they had confidence in our Government's work on the housing crisis than the performance of the old Government.
