AI summary
Auckland Council's proposed Plan Change 120 (PC 120) focuses housing intensification around transport hubs and urban centres. This replaces a previous plan, aiming to increase housing supply while better protecting flood-prone areas from new development.
The proposal allows for taller buildings, including up to 15 storeys near key train stations like Maungawhau (Mt Eden) and up to 6 storeys along frequent bus routes. This targeted approach supports growth near jobs and services.
