Information Gone Missing

Apologies Folks

 

I was hoping to get some posts up on both the Auckland Conversation piece on Urban Design and some new survey results and indicators on where Auckland is currently at.

 

However, the information and video links have not been forwarded yet thus I can not exactly get the full posts up.

Once I do have the information and links I will have the posts up for your viewing.

 

Apologies for the delays

 

Final Day of the Unitary Plan

·

From Auckland Council

Because I am Utterly Exhausted From All This

 

Unitary Plan recommended for notification

 

Councillors today recommended that the revised version of the draft Unitary Plan be approved for notification and the formal submissions phase.

Auckland Plan Committee Chair Penny Hulse says the recommendation underlined the many important decisions made by elected members over the last two weeks.

“Today’s decision is a significant milestone in the Unitary Plan process. We now have a plan that prior to going out for public submissions has already been shaped and changed based on the feedback of thousands of Aucklanders.”

The proposed Unitary Plan which includes amendments to the maps, policies and rules will now go to Auckland Council’s Governing Body who will be asked to officially endorse the plan for notification.

Once approved, a date will be set for notification which marks the start of the formal public submission phase, and the next opportunity for people to have their say.

 

The Governing Body will meet on Tuesday 10 September.

Ends

 

As for the Southern Rural Urban Boundary Issue. Give me some time and I shall go clear any confusion up around that before we all go knock ourselves out.

 

Unitary Plan Updates 3.2.1

Will Get the Update from My Perspective Tonight

 

Owing to the absolute stunner of a day outside, I will get my commentary up on Day 3’s proceeding of the Unitary Plan tonight after sun-down. The commentary will look at the resolutions passed, Councillor Brewer’s defeat (allowing the path to be laid for Auckland advancing from the 1950s to the 1970s as a result), and the apparent hypocrisy of National Party supporters/members in regards to the Unitary Plan.

But for now it is time to enjoy the sun (and tend to the garden ready for Spring).

 

Oh for those who have nothing better to do this weekend, here are the tracked changes to the Unitary Plan: http://www.scribd.com/doc/163821981/APC-The-Rural-Urban-Boundary
