Taller buildings on the cards for residential areas
Consultation is now open on a change to planning rules that will allow taller buildings to be built in residential areas.
To address issues of housing supply, the Government has directed all councils to change their District Plans to enable three-storey (medium density) houses in all residential areas. Councils must also identify parts of the city where even taller (high density) buildings of up to six storeys can be built, within walking distance of the city centre, public transport or local centres.
Consultation is open until 12 September. To find out more, view the variation and plan change, or to make a submission.

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
