RE: Auckland Council vs Government in Planning Changes
Are you impacted?
"Auckland Council's notified plan changes have applied special character protection to vast swathes of central suburbs anyway, carving them out from intensification rules.
Auckland Council thinks the protections are both justified and lawful. A council spokesperson said the "NPS-UD and Amendment Act specifically provide for councils to consider circumstances where the blanket provisions should be amended."
"These are called qualifying matters. It is therefore not illegal for Auckland Council to protect values that are important to Auckland or communities, for example Special Character Areas, through this mechanism," they said.

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)
