AI summary
Auckland Council's new housing proposal, Plan Change 120 (PC 120), focuses on intensifying development near transport hubs and urban centres. It replaces a previous plan to better protect flood-prone areas.
The proposal allows for higher-density housing, including:
- Buildings up to 15 storeys near major train stations and metro centres like Newmarket.
- 6-storey apartments along frequent bus routes and around town centres.
This strategy aims to create more housing choices close to jobs, services, and public transport.
