Plan Change 78 & 79: Intensification & Transport
Auckland Council currently has two Plan Changes that are critical to the local property sector:
Plan Change 79 – Transport
This plan change seeks to introduce onsite accessible car parking, onsite loading zones and onsite EV-charging and cycle parking for each development. We are extremely concerned that these proposals will result in less green space, and a decrease in site yield resulting in smaller and fewer housing which will likely impact affordability.
Our draft template submission can be read and downloaded here – please feel free to adapt it for your own use.
Plan Change 78 – Intensification
This plan change seeks to respond to the government’s National Policy Statement on Urban Development by enabling six-storey developments within walkable catchment zones of 1.2km.
You can read our previous submission to Auckland Council here.
We are currently wading through documents to make the necessary updates to our submission. Please contact Logan Rainey for more information.
