The level of housing density permitted on the Hibiscus Coast, particularly on Whangaparāoa Peninsula is likely to undergo a radical change.
Auckland Council has had to alter its Unitary Plan, which already allowed fairly intensive development, to incorporate changes to the Resource Management Act, and the government’s National Policy Statement on Urban Development.
The first round of feedback is open now (until May 9) and there will be another opportunity for consultation when the draft is publicly notified, in August.
Maps on the Council’s website show the changes. Top, is the current situation with a large part of the peninsula zoned residential single house (grey). The other image is the same area with the proposed residential mixed housing urban zoning (peach), which allows three houses of six storeys.
