Calling a floodplain ‘SunField’ is the least corrupt part of this
Is there any cruller irony than calling a floodplain ‘SunField’?
When we know that warmer temperatures and massive rain fall events are now our present and future, why the hell would you build anything on a floodplain?
Why you would need deep political connections and the ability to fast track legislation to get away with that!
Calling a floodplain ‘SunField’ is the least corrupt part of this
The Sunfield fast-track housing development has become a symbol of everything broken in New Zealand politics — donor influence, weak infrastructure planning, and policies that punish the poor.
This entire disgusting fiasco reeks to high heaven of despicable corruption and housing policies that actively hurt the poor the most!!!
Fast-track panel ‘made legal errors’ on Sunfield: Auckland Council
The Auckland Council has appealed the Fast-track approval of Winton’s Sunfield development because it believes the panel did not fully consider the flood risk, and the impact on water and wastewater infrastructure. Publicly listed property developer Winton gained approval for its 3850-home Sunfield master-planned community through the Fast-track consenting process on 10 March 2026. The decision came with 179 pages of conditions, as much of the rurally zoned site northeast of Papakura is flood-prone and has no existing water or stormwater.
Why Sunfield is a planning disaster
A massive development, built upon flood plains, with no public transport infrastructure, no stormwater infrastructure and no sewage infrastructure is rammed through under Fast-track powers implemented by Chris Bishop, who has received donations from the Developer Winton?
For the love of the risen Zombie Jesus people – how much more blatant does the f**k you, to poor people need to be?
Only in a country as perverse in its pork barrel politics as New Zealand has become is this acceptable!
It’s a Banana Republic meets Cargo Cult.
This is not what urban development should look like!!!!
This is what not giving a shit about poor people looks like!
This is what bending over backwards for the developer looks like!
This is what corruption looks like!
The silence over political corruption
If this was a Labour MP who had crafted legislation for donors, the Right Wing Hate Trolls would scream and scream and scream.
Yet they are as silent as field mice, aren’t they?
It should be called ‘Climate Swamp’ if we were being honest.
Bishop is also resposible for little box like kainga ora flats being built to save cost . No one’s wants to buy them they are little sweat boxes done as cheap as possible Bishop wants cheap housing for the poor and working class. In the mean time he lives in Eastbourne what a cunt .
