RE: Auckland Council - Planning Changes Released
Auckland Council has released their planning changes, and planning changes are effective from today with Auckland Council notifying these.
Notified on 18 August 2022.
Submissions can be made, and close on 29 September 2022.
Special Character Areas have been addressed. Areas have had updated overlays, with assessments of areas that have specific 'Historic Heritage' value, vs whole broad 'Special Character'.
The bar is set high; with a score system established to set a suburb area of 'High Quality':
"An area of high quality is determined to be one that has 75% or more individual properties scoring either 5 or 6."
Therefore only key houses will be nominated for "Historic Heritage" Value.
Key areas in Mt Eden identified:
- The Onslow Avenue and Empire Road East SCA report area is of high quality.
- The Pencarrow Avenue SCA report area is of high quality
- The Pukehana Avenue SCA report area is of high quality.
- The Mount Eden West/East/South SCA report area is of high quality.
To find out where your house sits in regard to future development/planning rules, refer to the Auckland Council website or PM for further information.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
