First Full Auckland Plan Committee to Deliberate and ‘Steer’ Changes for the Unitary Plan

 

The Auckland Plan Committee is to meet (as an open meeting) on July 2 to deliberate on the first round of Unitary Plan Workshops (June 19 and 26).

From the Council media release just released:

Directions to guide Unitary Plan changes

 

The Auckland Plan Committee will meet next week to consider the first set of directions to address issues identified in the draft Unitary Plan.

 

The directions, based on feedback analysed to date, were proposed by elected members at the first two post-engagement Unitary Plan workshops.

 

A report outlining some of the key issues identified by Aucklanders as well as the initial directions will be presented to the Auckland Plan Committee on Tuesday 2 July.

 

The topics covered in the first two workshops and reflected in the report include:

• Principles for height in local and town centres
• Principles for height, notification and provisions in the Terrace House and Apartment Building zone
• Proposed heights, minimum dwelling size and development controls in the Mixed Housing Zone
• Quality design and notification of development control infringements

 

Deputy Mayor Penny Hulse, says she is pleased with the progress councillors and local board chairs have made over the past two weeks.

 

“The workshops have been well attended and there has been very useful discussion from everyone on how to incorporate what we are hearing from our community into the plan.

 

“Tuesday’s committee meeting is about further discussion and giving staff a more formal go ahead to start incorporating changes into the version of the plan we are developing, ready for notification,” said Penny Hulse.

 

For further details on the feedback and the next steps in the Unitary Plan process, please see the Shape Auckland site.
