A majority of New Zealanders support a proposed levy on overnight stays, according to a new poll. The survey, conducted by Infrastructure NZ, found that more than twice as many people back the measure compared to those who oppose it. The proposal, which would generate revenue for infrastructure projects, has sparked debate among politicians and residents. Infrastructure NZ chief Nick Leggett described the level of support as “significant,” highlighting the public’s interest in funding public works through this method. The poll comes after the National Party ruled out the levy in its recent policy stance, creating a contrast between official positions and public sentiment. The results suggest a growing appetite for alternative funding models to support national development.
