AI summary
Auckland Council's proposed Plan Change 120 (PC 120) replaces Plan Change 78, shifting housing intensification towards key transport hubs and urban centres. This strategy aims to avoid development in flood-prone zones while creating more housing choices near jobs and services.
The plan enables taller buildings, including up to 15 storeys near major train stations like Maungawhau and Newmarket, and 6-storey apartments along key bus routes. The THAB zone will be extended around many centres to accommodate growth.
