Auckland set for more housing on less land
Auckland's controversial new residential zoning maps released | Stuff.co.nz.
"The changes include:
* Zoning more of Mt Eden for Mixed Housing Urban, allowing intensified housing of up to three storeys;
* Reducing the amount of Single House zoning in Remuera;
* Allowing more intensification in parts of Takapuna's iconic seaward streets such as Minehaha Avenue;
* Changing the length of Lake Road between Takapuna and Belmont to Mixed Housing Urban;
* Changing almost all of Blockhouse Bay from Single House zone to Mixed Use Suburban, allowing a mix of housing styles and more density;
* Upzoning parts of New Lynn that are near the town centre and public transport to Mixed Housing Urban and the higher density Terrace Housing and Apartment zone;
* Making all of Pt Chevalier Mixed Use Suburban, and adding a new zone of Mixed Use Urban down the main arterial routes of Pt Chevalier Rd and Meola Rd;
* Changing half of the nearby suburb of Waterview from Mixed Use Suburban to the more intense Mixed Use Urban."
