A solution to Auckland’s land shortage?
Auckland’s golf courses are huge tracts of heavily subsidised central Auckland land lying vacant in the middle of a housing crisis. There are 39 golf courses, 14 of them publicly owned. Many Auckland Council-owned golf courses – including Remuera and Waitemata – are paying $1 a year in rent, despite charging annual fees in excess of $3000 and $1300 respectively. Both are taking up tens of millions of dollars of prime housing land in central suburbs near major transport links.
