Watch: Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan decided
The council has completed its decisions on recommendations made by the Independent Hearings Panel and for the first time Auckland has a plan.
It’s a plan to make Auckland the world’s most liveable city by managing our city’s future growth, providing more housing, greater choices about how and where we live and better infrastructure balanced with the protection of Auckland’s heritage and unique natural environments.
The council has publicly notified its decisions on the council website setting out each recommendation of the Panel that the council has accepted and rejected, providing reasons and alternative solutions for each rejected recommendation.
Also available is a ‘decisions version’ of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan, which consists of the amended plan and maps that reflect the decisions made by the council.”
Unitary plan still not finalised
Publicly notifying the council’s decisions is a statutory requirement, and does not mean that the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan has been finalised. Rather, notification is one of the final steps in the process towards putting the plan in place.
The special legislation that set the process for the development of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan provides limited rights of appeals against the council’s decisions.
Appeals period
The period for appeals runs for 20 working days, until 16 September 2016.
