Local Government New Zealand President Lawrence Yule also welcomed the inquiry.
"The overall legislative and regulatory framework at both a central and local government level is cumbersome and does not enable agile planning, a factor highlighted in previous enquiries,” said Yule.
“One aspect of particular interest to local authorities is the release of land to the market for development.
Currently, local authorities cannot control when land is released.
We need to look at the incentives associated with this," he said.
