Draft changes to Auckland’s planning rules, aimed at protecting people and property from high-risk hazards and focusing more housing near town centres, will move to the next stage.
We know there’s strong local interest, especially in places like Howick Village, Sandspit Road, and Pakuranga. Right now, the plan is still in draft, and feedback is being gathered from local boards and mana whenua.
🛑 What it’s about:
- Stronger rules to protect homes from flooding and hazards
- Limiting new housing in high-risk areas
- Focusing future housing near town centres, transport, and jobs
- Planning for around 2 million potential homes (as required by central govt).

Thanks to major tech improvements and mass production over the past decade, the cost of wind, solar, and other renewables has dropped fast. As a result, most new power capacity built around the world came from renewables, and every continent added more clean energy than fossil fuels.
Money — the ultimate decision-maker in politics and business — is finally lining up with climate action. A big win for the planet (and maybe our wallets?)
We hope this news brings a smile!

We got talking about the power of nature — green spaces like parks, bush walks, or even just sitting under a tree, and blue spaces like the ocean, lakes, or rivers. Research agrees: being in nature really does help calm the mind. We’re lucky here in Aotearoa to have such beautiful spots right on our doorstep!
But sometimes, getting out for a walk or escaping to the beach isn’t an option. So we’re curious...
We want to know: What do you do to find a moment of calm when life gets a bit too much?
A hot cuppa? A good playlist? Staring out the window?
Let us know ... your go-to might help someone else breathe a little easier, too.
