Healthy Home Survey
Hi All !!!! :)
I am Nipuni Wimalasena, a PhD student at the University of Auckland.
I would like to invite you to participate in an online "Healthy Homes" survey. New Zealand’s existing housing stock is subject to rapid ageing and deterioration due to a low replacement rate and a lack of maintenance. Poor housing conditions likely pose potential harm to the health of household occupants. Each year more than 20 children in New Zealand are died by respiratory diseases such as asthma, wheeze, pneumonia and bronchiolitis, which are linked to unhealthy housing.
This survey gathers your knowledge about the property you live in, as well as your perspective about how housing-related factors may cause medical/health problems of you and your family. The survey is being conducted by a research group at the University of Auckland to understand how we can develop housing solutions and alternatives to those health-related issues.
We are seeking for Aucklanders to participate in this anonymous survey and appreciate your kind support and participation. This will take 15 minutes of your time. Your response will be confidential and anonymous. The survey is approved by the University of Auckland Human Participation Committee with reference number 021180.
Your participation in the study is highly valued. Thank you for your attention and time.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
88% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
12% No. This would be impossible in practice.
