Check out what's happening in your backyard
Auckland is your backyard: the city where you live, work or play. The thing is, our city's growing, so we have to plan now to determine how we can make the best use of land in the future.
This website paints a picture of how the Auckland isthmus could develop through area plans under the future planning framework. You'll learn how we want to deal with important issues facing Auckland, including:
- How and where growth and development should occur
- Respecting the historic urban landscape
- Preserving our natural environment
- Developing high quality urban areas
- Retaining our unique character and identity.
Future planning framework's next steps begin with Onehunga and Church/Neilson
Following public submissions on ten area plans, further work has been done on preparing a more detailed look at four specific areas of the city to see how they could be developed for future growth. Called precinct plans, these will be available for public feedback before being referred to the new Auckland Council to assist local planning and the preparation of a single district plan for the whole region.
The first two draft plans, for Onehunga and the Church/Neilson area, are available now for viewing and comment. The plans will be displayed at public open days on 11 and 13 February in the Foyer, Onehunga Library and Community Centre.
The closing day for feedback is Friday 19 February, 2010.
