In December the developer A V Jennings was announced as the preferred partner to carry out the first precinct development at Hobsonville. This is the excellent project that aims to create a mixed community of affordable housing, State rentals, and higher-end homes.

I have seen the affordable housing project in Hobsonville described as “economic vandalism”, I have seen a report stating that it would be cancelled, and recently I saw a report stating that the Hobsonville project has always been supported but the project should really be privatised. All of those reports come from John Key.
