Opportunity to provide feedback on proposed building intensification changes impacting Forrest Hill
Auckland Council Response to Zoning changes ("Plan Change 78")
The council is asking for further submissions to the proposed intensification changes.
These zoning changes will remove the need to apply for resource consent when building up to six-storey apartment buildings or multiple town-houses depending on the zoning. No parts of Forrest Hill will be zoned for single dwellings.
The council acknowledges that private covenants override council zoning, meaning that multiple dwellings per lot are prohibited from being built in the Forrest Hill covenant area. The proposed intensification changes will place an undue burden on residents, who will be left to fend off developers attempting to violate the covenant by building high-density housing or apartments.
Submissions are due 20th January. Any person representing a relevant aspect of the public interest is permitted to make a submission. More details can be found on the council website.
The Forrest Hill Society will be making a submission in this process, as these intensification changes directly affect residents.
You can seek assistance for your submissions via the Council’s free “friend of a submitter" service. Details are available on the council website.
