Auckland’s ambitious plans for increased housing density are facing significant alterations as councillors prepare to vote on revisions to the PC120 plan change. The proposed changes could see large portions of urban Auckland removed from the intensified development zones. PC120 aims to facilitate growth to accommodate a population of 1.5 to 1.7 million residents. The revisions follow consultation with both local Māori authorities (iwi) and local boards throughout the city. The policy, planning and development committee will discuss and vote on the plan change on Tuesday. The outcome of this vote will significantly impact the future of housing development in Auckland. The changes reflect a response to concerns raised during the consultation process regarding the scale and nature of intensification.
