Episode: Julie Scott: Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust Chief Executive says underlying infrastructure can't keep up with growing population
Description: Queenstown's underlying infrastructure is unable to keep up with the rapidly growing tourism and population numbers. The town's infrastructure can't cope with international arrivals 28% higher than in 2019, and the population has doubled every 17 years in the last four decades.  Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust Chief Executive Julie Scott says they're a smaller community who needs a lot of infrastructure they can't afford.  She says they need the tools to enable them to have an equitable share in how infrastructure is paid for. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for priv...
