June Auckland Development Committee Agenda is up [UPDATED]
Talking Housing and Parking
The Auckland Development Committee for June 12 is up and should prove to be a cracker of a meeting. The Committee is looking at discussing (or reviewing) the following:
- Progress with the Housing Accord
- Hobsonville Point 20ha Block: Future Residential Use
- Auckland Transport’s Draft Parking Discussion Document
- Submission to the Ministry for the Environment on the “Setting a direct referral threshold and related matters” discussion document
- And behind closed doors: Takapuna Beachfront Precinct
No doubt the parking issue will be a lively debate. I can already take a good guess on which way the debate will fall and which of our more “vocal” Councillors will be at the “forefront” of any discussion around parking.
