Weiti Block agreement reached

The developer of the Weiti Block, Weiti Development LP, has settled with Auckland Council, withdrawing the company’s attempt to almost triple the 550 housing units permitted under the Unitary Plan.

However, this does not mean that higher density will not be sought. Any future changes in the level of development at the Weiti Precinct will be determined through a private plan change process with full public participation and scrutiny.

The company has also agreed that its future development proposals will be assessed using the model Council is developing for the catchment.

The model will include a comprehensive assessment of current and permitted land uses and the sediment and contaminant loads generated by those uses. Council is keen to involve interested parties in this modelling project.

“We welcome and are very supportive of proceeding with full public scrutiny and further detailed scientific work,” says Weiti Development LP director Evan Williams.
