This is the largest public event to date about the government's new housing legislation, to give voice to your opposition to the intensification legislation due to come into effect 20th August 2022

Orakei Local Board agrees with the advice of the Heritage Advisory Panel dated 6th June 2022 (copied - Appendix A) and Council’s Feedback Report analysing public views on Special Character Areas, which support retaining these areas.

Include Score 4 property in the Special Character Area assessments! The public feedback very clearly supported retaining Special Character Areas and supporting the creation of more Special Character Areas (SCAs).

Now is the time for Aucklanders to express their concerns for the future of Auckland and its Special Character Area’s (SCA's). Character Coalition believes a significant vote on the future status of SCA's will be made by Councillors at a meeting on 30 June.

We are challenging Council’s approach and looking at alternative ways of optimising qualifying matter opportunities under the centrally driven housing enabling regime. We need your help too.

Auckland Council will be releasing the new housing intensification rules soon. Please give feedback to Auckland Council on their proposed changes to housing density on Have Your Say, from 19 April - 9 May 2022.
