Under the Auckland Unity Plan (AUP), changes to zoning are managed through Plan Changes.
Auckland Council is currently proposing some changes through Plan Change 96 to “rezone land to correct zoning errors and anomalies”. This includes two areas near Barry Curtis Park – 66 Flat Bush School Road and 56 Brookview Drive. The request was made by Eke Panuku as Auckland Council had erroneously zoned the two sites for open space (under Plan Change 60).
Both are zoned as Open Space – Sport and Active Recreation Zone and proposed to be changed to Residential – Terraced Housing and Apartment Building Zone.
The Howick Local Board will get an opportunity to provide our feedback on the proposal, although this comes after the public submissions have closed. Because we're part of Auckland Council our feedback is handled slightly differently.
We would strongly encourage residents to submit their own feedback before it closes on Friday 23 February 2024.
You can find out more, including how to submit at https://www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/plans-projects-policies-reports-bylaws/our-plans-strategies/unitary-plan/auckland-unitary-plan-modifications/Pages/details.aspx?UnitaryPlanId=251
Apologies for the late notification - the Howick Local Board wasn’t made aware of this proposal until after the public consultation had begun which isn’t ideal.
