The Government's made several housing announcements today - including allocating $100 million to be lent to developers for housing infrastructure on the outskirts of cities.  

Minister Chris Bishop also confirms the Government will cut RMA red tape limiting development on new land. 

He says the housing crisis is holding us back economically and socially.

RMA lawyer Johanna King says these changes could work out for farmers - who can build extra spaces on their land without restrictions getting in the way.
