Young people will not want to live in Wellington if the city’s housing crisis is not fixed, a frustrated councillor has told colleagues.

As Wellington City Council's six-month Housing Action Plan report came to the table at its strategy and policy committee meeting on Wednesday, the draft spatial plan, social housing and affordability became hot topics.

Councillor Tamatha Paul warned her colleagues that a change in attitude was needed if the city is to prosper.

"If we want to keep [Wellington] grey and dull and boring, and if we want to keep going the way we're going with the debate we’re having then it’s quickly going to be the city no one wants to live in, especially not young people.

We don't fix housing affordability by having no supply – that doesn’t make any sense to me and to me, it's making the problem of social housing worse because we’re pricing people out."

Do you think Tamantha Paul would make a good mayor? Does she have enough experience?

The 23-year-old said she is considering challenging incumbent Andy Foster, who has endured a torrid first term so far and is reportedly already planning for the 2022 election.

Her motivation for standing comes from a desire to be more involved in council decision making.

“I’m a little bit frustrated about how much power and resources we have in doing substantial stuff,” Paul said.

“There are more ambitious and aspirational things I wanted to be able to do on the council.”
