Whangarei's Mayor says the city will fare well from the government's new housing policy.
Housing Minister Chris Bishop's plans to "flood" the country with new homes have raised plenty of questions.
Local Government New Zealand says the lack of financial support for subsequent council roading and footpaths is a major concern.
Vince Cocurullo told Mike Hosking it won't have that problem.
He says Whangarei's council uses some money from developers to upgrade the area's infrastructure.
But, he says, not every council works the same way.
