Auckland Council is asking for feedback on how Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland should grow over the next 30 years, with public consultation open until 4 July 2023.

Council expects half a million more people to be living in the city by 2058. The strategy is its plan to make sure homes, jobs and infrastructure are built in the right places, at the right time, while also building our resilience to climate change and protecting our environment as we grow.

The draft strategy recommends that most of Auckland’s future growth occurs in existing urban areas. It also proposes delaying or stopping development in specific greenfield areas that have previously been identified for future urban development, due to natural hazard risk, impacts on our ability to halve emissions and the high infrastructure costs associated with development.   

You can make a submission online here or email futuredevelopmentstrategy@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
