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 to better protect flood-prone areas.
The proposal allows for significantly taller buildings in targeted zones to increase housing supply:
- Up to 15 storeys near major train stations like Maungawhau and Kingsland.
- Up to 6 storeys along key bus routes and around town centres.
This strategy concentrates development within 66 walkable catchments and 24 transit corridors.
