Auckland Council's proposed Plan Change 120 (PC 120) focuses housing intensification around transport hubs and urban centres, replacing a previous plan to better manage flood risks.
Key changes include:
- Buildings up to 15 storeys in walkable catchments like Maungawhau (Mt Eden) and Newmarket.
- Six-storey apartments along frequent bus routes and around town centres.
This aims to create significantly more housing capacity with more choices for Aucklanders near jobs, services, and public transport links.
