About long-term insights briefings
Long-term insights briefings (LTIB) are a requirement under Schedule 6 of the Public Service Act 2020. They provide the public with information about medium and long-term trends, risks, and opportunities affecting Aotearoa New Zealand at least 10 years in the future, and options for how we might respond.
Long-term insights briefing for 2023
In our first long-term insights briefing we explored the implications of our ageing population on the future of housing and urban development.
We focused on three key areas:
- dwelling types and the performance needed from them
- housing stock and its size and positioning within towns and cities
- the affordability and security of housing.
Long-term insights briefing for 2025
In 2024, we consulted on our proposed topic which was exploring the potentials and challenges of residential high-rise housing in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We were going to look at:
- past and future trends in high-rise residential builds
- impacts of high-rise residential builds on our stock, relating to:
- Housing supply
- Affordable housing costs
- meeting the functional, accessibility and housing security needs of residents and their households
- development and operating costs across the life cycle of residential high-rise buildings
- impacts and opportunities of high-rise residential builds for urban development and the shape of our towns and cities including:
- Intensification
- Acceptability to town and city residents
- resilience.
Once the briefing is drafted, it will be released to the public and submissions invited. Those submissions will contribute to the final briefing, which will be published on our website.
