On 19 December 2025, Property Council submitted to Auckland Council on Plan Change 120: Housing Intensification and Resilience (“PC120”).
Why this matters to our members
More density across the city will lead to greater housing affordability, better urban development, and higher productivity, supporting growth in existing and new communities through meaningful engagement.
Our view
Property Council supports various aspects of PC120, including the broad intensification of Auckland across walkable catchments, town centres and metropolitan areas. However, we have concerns about some aspects of PC120. As it stands currently, PC120 lacks clarity and detail about how various proposed provisions will be implemented, especially those related to specific urban design requirements, and natural hazard overlays. With targeted adjustments, we believe that PC120 can successfully enable more housing in the right places, strengthen resilience, and support the development of vibrant, well-functioning communities across Auckland.
