Based on the current second generation district plan, the city is forecast to be 3040 houses short - a quarter of the homes needed.
But that could be slashed to 100 if new district plan changes are given a green light.
This afternoon, Dunedin City councillors discussed a housing capacity report along with the changes.
The proposed changes - known as Variation 2 - would include rezoning some areas, removing restrictions on who can live in family flats, allowing smaller site sizes, creating more flexibility for development, improving provisions for social housing, and encouraging good urban design and well-managed infrastructure in greenfield sites.
