Purpose
Item 11
1. To seek approval to the proposed changes to the sequencing of future urban land in the
Future Urban Land Supply Strategy (the Strategy) as part of the refresh of this strategy, and
to seek approval to undertake a public engagement process on these changes.
Executive summary
2. The Auckland Plan anticipates that Auckland will grow by approximately 1 million more
people, and need around 400,000 new homes, by 2041. The Auckland Plan Development
Strategy identifies that around 30 per cent of this growth will be accommodated in
greenfields (currently rural areas that will be urbanised in the future).
3. In conjunction with the development of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan, the council
adopted the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy (the Strategy) in November 2015.
4. This Strategy provides a 30-year programme to sequence greenfield land zoned future
urban under the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan (Attachment I). As it would be prohibitively
expensive to invest in all future urban areas concurrently, providing a sequence of when
these areas would be development-ready ensured infrastructure costs were distributed over
the 30 years. It also provides a strategic and proactive approach to ensure that there is an
ongoing supply of greenfield land that is ready for urban development. This is primarily
achieved through synchronising the timing of live zoning with the provision of the enabling
bulk infrastructure and underpinning structure planning. This provides greater clarity and
certainty to land owners, iwi, developers, infrastructure providers and council about when
future urban land would be ready for development.
5. The decision version of the Unitary Plan (adopted in August 2016) resulted in significant
changes such as increasing the size of some of the future urban zones as well as live zoning
parts of others. Significant changes have also been made to the zoning of rural settlements.
Cumulatively, these changes mean that approximately 15,000 hectares of land has now
been zoned for future urban development up from 11,000 hectares of land in November
2015. These changes have an impact on the sequencing and timing of development
identified in the Strategy and the resulting provision of bulk infrastructure to these areas. It
is therefore necessary to refresh the Strategy to ensure it reflects development opportunities
that now exist through the Unitary Plan, work such as the Supporting Growth project and the
ability to service respective areas with bulk infrastructure.
6. A review of the Strategy was signalled at the time of its adoption in November 2015 as it was
anticipated there could be changes to the future urban zones through decisions on the
Unitary Plan.
7. The key change proposed to the Strategy is to the sequencing of future urban areas. Some
areas are proposed to be moved forward in the sequencing mainly due to their Unitary Plan
live zoning. Subsequently, and due to infrastructure and funding constraints, some future
urban areas are proposed to be put back.
8. Other changes to the Strategy are the inclusion of Rural Settlements in the sequencing, and
the ability to now identify a more nuanced approach to sequencing.
9. The process to amend the Strategy will include a public engagement phase where feedback
on the proposed sequencing will be invited from land owners, iwi, developers, key
stakeholders, local boards and the general public. It is recommended that a deliberations
panel be established to consider feedback and make recommendations to the Planning
Committee before formal adoption. This process was used for the previous feedback
consideration and worked well.
10. The Strategy sets a programme for structure planning. The next priority for council-led
structure planning to be signalled in the Strategy is in the South for the Drury/Opaheke,
Drury West, Pukekohe and Paerata future urban areas.

Item 11
Comments
Background
11. The Auckland Plan (2012) anticipates that Auckland will grow by approximately 1 million
more people, and need around 400,000 new homes, by 2041. The majority of this growth
will be accommodated in existing urban areas (brownfields) with some growth in greenfields
(currently rural areas that will be urbanised in the future) and rural areas. The Auckland
Plan further directs that an average of seven years unconstrained ready to go land will be
supplied along with 20 years of forward land supply.
12. The Auckland Plan identified greenfield areas for investigation to provide for future growth
outside the existing urban area. It was anticipated that these areas would accommodate
approximately 90,000 dwellings and provide 1,400 hectares of business land.
13. Since the adoption of the Auckland Plan, the council and wider council family have been
refining their technical understanding of these areas to better understand constraints,
opportunities, infrastructure requirements and costs, which will help ensure that the future
urban land is rezoned in a timely and effective manner.
14. During the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan hearings process, the Independent Hearings
Panel requested further information to understand how the council will manage the planning
and development of future urban land. The Future Urban Land Supply Strategy was
therefore developed and subsequently adopted in November 2015, prior to the finalisation of
the Unitary Plan. It formed part of the councils overall integrated planning approach which
includes the use of the Rural Urban Boundary and future urban zones. A copy of the current
strategy is included as Attachment I.
15. The purpose of the Strategy was to provide a strategic and proactive 30-year sequence for
when the 11,000 hectares of future urban land identified under the Proposed Auckland
Unitary Plan is proposed to be ready for urban development. This enabled coordination of
timely structure planning, live zoning and bulk infrastructure provision to these areas and
provided clarity and certainty to all key stakeholders, including infrastructure providers. The
future urban areas are predominantly rural and have not been previously identified for
urbanisation. The required bulk infrastructure will therefore have to be planned and provided
prior to their development.
16. The current Strategy identified future urban land in the following locations:
a. North: Warkworth, Wainui and Silverdale-Dairy Flat
b. North-west: Whenuapai, Red Hills, Kumeu-Huapai and Riverhead
c. South: Puhinui, Takanini, Hingaia, Opaheke-Drury, Drury West, Paerata and Pukekohe.
17. It leveraged off legacy planning and Special Housing Areas (SHAs) for the first 5-10 years.
In the following years, the Strategy transitioned to a more proactive approach that aimed to
Item 11
ensure that the necessary underpinning network infrastructure will be available at the time of
future live zoning.
18. A set of principles, to underpin sequencing decisions, was established as part of the
development of the Strategy. These principles assisted with understanding which areas
would achieve the greatest benefits for Auckland over the short, medium and long-term
timeframes of the Strategy. Further detail of the process used to develop the sequencing is
included in Attachment G.
19. Structure planning and associated plan changes to create live zonings were to be done prior
to the future urban zones being ready for development and would be undertaken by the
council (or in partnership with others) in line with the sequencing outlined in the Strategy.
Structure planning would be the stage of the process where local boards, mana whenua and
communities would be most heavily involved in the planning of these areas.
Refresh of the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy
20. The decision version of the Unitary Plan (August 2016) resulted in significant changes, such
as increasing the size of some of the future urban zones as well as live zoning parts of
others. Some significant changes have also been made to the zoning of the rural
settlements. Attachment A includes a map of the future urban areas Unitary Plan zoning
changes. These changes have an impact on the sequencing and timing of development
identified in the current Strategy and the resulting provision of bulk infrastructure to these
areas. It is therefore necessary to refresh the Strategy to ensure it reflects development
opportunities that now exist through the Unitary Plan and the new realities of network
infrastructure provision. A review was signalled at the time of the Strategys adoption in
November 2015 as it was anticipated there could be changes to the future urban zones
through the decisions to the Unitary Plan.
21. The refresh also presents an opportunity to align the Strategy with recent technical work
completed during the Supporting Growth project (formerly known as Transport for Future
Urban Growth), which developed a transport network plan to support development in the
future urban areas.
Proposed changes to the Future Urban Land Supply Strategy
22. The key changes proposed to the Strategy are in terms of the sequencing of future urban
areas. Some areas are proposed to be moved forward in the sequence, mainly due to live
zoning through the Unitary Plan decisions. In addition, confirmation of key infrastructure
such as the Puhoi to Warkworth section of the Road of National Significance and further
planning of waste water solutions have impacted on the timeframes for when land could be
ready for development. As a consequence, and also due to greater infrastructure
constraints, some future urban areas are proposed to be put back as it would be prohibitively
expensive to invest in all future urban areas at the same time.
23. The proposed changes to the sequencing of the large areas of future urban land as follows:
a. future urban areas recommended to be brought forward in terms of their sequencing are:
Warkworth North
Wainui East
Silverdale (business)
Red Hills
Puhinui (business)
Wesley (Paerata)
Opaheke Drury
Drury South
b. future urban areas recommended to be put back in terms of their sequencing are:
Kumeu Huapai Riverhead
Item 11
Whenuapai Stage 2
Drury West Stage 2
Puhinui (business)
Red Hills North
Warkworth North East
Takanini.
24. The Unitary Plan decisions also rezoned a significant amount of land for future urban
development in rural settlements. Future urban land in these settlements totals
approximately 1,700 hectares, which makes up approximately 11 per cent of the total 15,000
hectares of greenfield land zoned for urban development. For this reason, it is now
considered necessary to also apply sequencing to these areas to signal development
readiness. It is therefore proposed to include rural settlements in the refreshed Strategy.
Table 2 identifies the proposed sequencing of Rural Settlements and Attachment D includes
a sequencing map of the Rural Settlements.
25. The sequencing takes a more nuanced approach compared to the current strategy.
However, it needs to be noted that structure planning (discussed in paragraph 29) will likely
further refine sequencing through proposing a staged development for some of the larger
future urban zones.
26. Minor changes are proposed to the text of the Strategy for the purposes of clarification. For
example, clarifying how the sequence timing works in relation to the structure planning and
plan change process as well as describing what is involved in the structure planning
process.
27. Tables 1 and 2 show the proposed sequencing for all of the large future urban areas and
rural settlement areas and Attachments B and C include sequencing maps for these areas at
a regional and local scale. Attachment F shows dwelling and employment capacities, and
bulk infrastructure costs by decade and sub-region.
Infrastructure/sequencing considerations
28. The live zoning of around 26 per cent of future urban land has determined the initial
sequencing and council priorities for infrastructure servicing. The remaining areas have
been sequenced primarily on the ability to address constraints to urban development in
these areas and the anticipated timing of infrastructure provision. A summary of the key
rationale for the proposed sequencing for each of the future urban areas and the rural
settlements is in Attachment E.

Item 11
Public engagement process
30. The public consultation process for the 2015 Strategy followed the Special Consultative
Procedure under the Local Government Act (2002). A total of 237 pieces of written
feedback was received and 270 people attended four Have Your Say public meetings. In
addition, extensive public consultation took place in the future urban areas in 2016 as part of
the Supporting Growth project (formerly known as Transport for Future Urban Growth).
Councils Development Programme Office has also been managing stakeholder
relationships with developers in the future urban zones.
31. Those who have an interest in the refresh of the Strategy are therefore largely known. As
the current process is a refresh of an existing strategy, the council is able to exercise its
discretion to not use the Special Consultative Procedure process for the refresh of the
Strategy. A more informal engagement process can be used and is recommended.
32. It is proposed that a public engagement period run from 29 March to 18 April 2017 and
commence with a media release and a live Shape Auckland web page on 29 March 2017.
Advertisements will be placed in the New Zealand Herald and local papers seeking feedback
on the refresh of the Strategy, advising of public drop in sessions at local libraries (near the
future urban areas) and directing them to the Shape Auckland website for further
information. Those who gave feedback in 2015 on the current Strategy will be contacted
directly to advise them of this current refresh.
33. A workshop for councillors and local board chairs was held on 15 February 2017. Local
Board briefing sessions are scheduled as part of the wider Auckland Plan refresh on 20 and
27 February 2017.
34. Mana Whenua chairs are invited to a hui on 20 March 2017.
35. It is proposed that a deliberations panel be formed consisting of up to six members of the
Planning Committee, including a member of the Independent Mori Statutory Board. The
panel will consider the engagement feedback received, deliberate and make
recommendations back to the 7 June Planning Committee meeting.
36. Staff considered whether the deliberations panel should be expanded in size and/or
broadened to include local board members to potentially add local knowledge. A key factor
to consider on this issue is the efficiency of the panel in terms of making recommendations
on region wide issues. This leans towards a smaller panel consisting of regional councillors.
As a result, staff recommend that the Chair of the Planning Committee be delegated powers
to appoint additional members or replacement members to the delegations panel if required.
37. At the conclusion of the engagement period, the deliberations panel will meet in May 2017 to
consider feedback. The panel will then make recommendations back to the Planning
Committee on amendments to the Strategy as may be required.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
38. This strategy has implications for local boards, particularly Rodney, Upper Harbour,
Henderson-Massey, tara-Papatotoe, Papakura and Franklin local boards, as they contain
areas of future urban land sequenced by the Strategy.
39. During the development of the Strategy in 2015, a briefing was held for all local board
members prior to public consultation. Local board members most affected by the Strategy
were also invited to the four Have Your Say public meetings, with 23 members attending.
Feedback was received from 18 local boards during development of the existing Strategy.
Attachment H includes a summary of the previous local board views.
40. Local boards have also been engaged on the future urban zones as part of the Supporting
Growth transport project in 2016. A number of local board members attended the public
Item 11
drop in sessions. Local boards are continuing to be engaged as the project moves to the
detailed phases which are currently underway.
41. For the refreshed Strategy, local board chairs were invited to the Planning Committee
workshop on 15 February 2017 and members from the following local boards attended:
Manurewa
Franklin
Rodney
Upper Harbour.
42. Two briefings on the Strategy Refresh for all local board members were scheduled for 20
and 27 February 2017 as part of the wider Auckland Plan refresh process. Local board
views will continue to be sought as part of the Auckland Plan refresh.
43. A complete record of local board feedback received to the refreshed Strategy will be
included when reported back to the Planning Committee.
Implementation
50. A monitoring programme is an integral and important part of implementing the Strategy and
making it responsive to changes in the future, ensuring that the proposed sequencing
remains relevant and effective and responds to change. Monitoring will be reported annually
as part of the Auckland Plan Development Strategy Annual Monitoring Report and will cover
a comprehensive set of key indicators, including measures of the development capacity
(dwellings and business land) of both existing urban land and future urban land across
Item 11
Auckland. A future urban snapshot will be prepared reporting on progress for each of the
future urban areas identified in the Strategy. The monitoring programme may potentially
trigger refreshes of the Strategy in the future as information is collected on the actual market
uptake of future urban land.
51. Further detailed planning for large areas of future urban land will occur at the structure
planning stage prior to live zoning and provision of bulk infrastructure. The first structure
plan has now been completed for Whenuapai and plan changes are currently being
prepared to enable the first stage of development.
52. As part of the ongoing implementation of the Strategy, the council and infrastructure
providers will work together to ensure land use and infrastructure planning is aligned. The
infrastructure required to deliver the Strategy is not entirely funded through the current Long-
term Plan. The 2018 Long-term Plan will need to consider prioritisation of bulk infrastructure
projects to enable development of these areas and how these will be funded and/or
financed. Once the sequencing has been confirmed through the refreshed Strategy, the
indicative timing (as currently identified in the Strategy) may need to be amended as a result
of Long-term Plan funding decisions.

Purpose
Item 12
1. To update the Planning Committee on the key submission points Auckland Council (council)
experts have identified with respect to the New Zealand Transport Agencys (the Transport
Agencys) East West Link application for two notices of requirement and 23 resource
consents.
2. To seek further delegations for the finalisation of the councils submission and the
finalisation of the councils position within subsequent processes during the Board of Inquiry
process.
3. To inform the Planning Committee of the legal barrier to implementing its resolution seeking
that the Environment Protection Authority consider an extended eight-week submission
period for the East West Link application.
Executive summary
4. On 16 December 2016, the Transport Agency lodged two notices of requirement and 23
resource consent applications (applications) under the Resource Management Act 1991 to
protect and construct a major road on the northern side of the Mngere Inlet between
Onehunga and Penrose. The new transport link will connect State Highway 20 (SH20) in
Onehunga and State Highway 1 (SH1) at the Mt Wellington interchange. The proposed East
West Link (the Project) aims to reduce high traffic and freight movements on congested local
roads, provide efficient freight movements between SH20 and SH1, and improve transport
connections between industrial areas and the port and airport. The Project also includes
environmental improvements through the creation of stormwater wetlands, a leachate
containment bund along the Mngere Inlet foreshore, and planting/ landscaping across the
length of the Project.
5. The Ministers of Conservation and Environment have determined that the project is of
national significance and should be referred to a Board of Inquiry. The applications were
publicly notified for submissions on 22 February 2017 and submissions close on 22 March
2017.
6. Staff are working with the East West Link Political Reference Group to prepare Councils
submission. The key matters which have been identified by council experts as potential
areas of issue or opportunity are:
Issues
a) additional infrastructure operational costs - particularly with respect to leachate
collection systems
b) dredging and the use of mudcrete within the coastal marine area
c) adverse effects on geological features (Outstanding Natural Features), unique lava
scrubland and associated wetlands (Significant Ecological Areas terrestrial and
marine), including cultural effects
d) adverse effects associated with boardwalks within the coastal marine area
e) the extent of reclamation within the coastal marine area
f) predicted deposition and mangrove spread
g) the height of stormwater infrastructure with respect to predicted sea level rise
h) severance between Onehunga Port, the community and the Mangere Inlet
Opportunities
l) future urban development of the Port of Onehunga
Item 12
m) enhanced cycleway and walkway connectivity across State Highway 20, State
Highway 1 and around the Mangere Inlet
n) the removal of transmission lines around the Neilson Street Interchange
o) greater connectivity between the Port of Onehunga and the Onehunga township
p) declamation and channel widening in thuhu Creek.
q) the creation of new open space and recreation areas
r) new artwork and educational signage
s) a future proofed linkage to a future Mangere Inlet Shared Path along the eastern
foreshore of the Mangere Inlet.
7. It is recommended that the delegations given to the Political Reference Group to approve
Councils submission (Attachment A) be extended to approving Councils position throughout
the Board of Inquiry process.
8. It is also noted that the Environmental Protection Agency cannot legally extend the
timeframe for submissions so staff have not requested an eight-week submission period as
resolved by the Planning Committee (Attachment B)
Recommendation/s
That the Planning Committee:
a) note the key issues and opportunities identified to date by council experts.
b) delegate authority to the East West Political Reference Group to work with staff
throughout the course of the Board of Inquiry process in order to provide timely
directions or decisions during hearings, mediation and consideration of any draft
conditions and notices.
c) agree that a minimum of three East West Political Reference Group members are
required to make decisions and provide direction throughout the course of the Board
of Inquiry process.
d) note the legal opinion obtained by council staff that the Environmental Protection
Authority is not able to give effect to a formal request by the Planning Committee to
consider an eight-week submission period for this application.
Comments
9. The Project will be considered by a Board of Inquiry. The applications were publicly notified
on 22 February 2017 and will close 20 working days later on 22 March 2017.
10. The council submission can be more accurately described as the council family submission
insofar as its intent is to incorporate the views of Panuku, Auckland Transport, Auckland
Council, Watercare, the Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board and the Mangere Otahuhu
Item 12
Local Board as a complete planning response to the East West Link application.
Accordingly, council planning staff have been active in meeting with various internal and
external stakeholders in an effort to achieve a unified submission. This has extended to the
point of sharing technical experts between Auckland Council and two of the CCOs (Panuku
and Auckland Transport).
11. To date, the review of the application by the council experts collectively identifies areas
where the proposal can be improved to address issues and capitalise on current and future
opportunities.
12. A particular topic of focus by the experts is place-making in the local area through reinforcing
a strong sense of local identity, improving amenity, and improving connections between the
Onehunga community, Port of Onehunga, and the Mangere Inlet. It is noted that this matter
has also been raised by local boards and the wider community (via public meetings and
community groups) as a key concern.
13. Another key issue is the extent to which the East West Link road embankment, which
effectively forms a groundwater containment bund along the northern Mangere Inlet
foreshore, will likely increase the councils operational costs through an ongoing need to
pump leachate/groundwater from the Pikes Point East and West closed landfills upgradient
of the embankment to either proposed water treatment wetlands or the Watercare
wastewater system. Concern has also been raised regarding the manner in which the works
will be conducted, particularly with respect to dredging of the Mangere Inlet.
14. A third key issue is the extent to which adverse effects at Anns Creek, which holds areas of
unique geology and indigenous vegetation of particular scientific interest, can be avoided,
remedied or mitigated whilst not compromising the wider alignment.
15. In addition to the above, council experts have been considering an alternative alignment at
the Neilson Street Interchange which is proposed by the Onehunga Business Association
(OBA) and The Onehunga Enhancement Society (TOES) and referred to as the OBA/TOES
Community Plan. This proposal has undergone peer review testing by the Transport
Agency, and the methodology and outcome of this testing is included within the East West
Link proposal documentation. Council experts are currently of the opinion that the
Community Plan offers no discernible traffic benefit when taken in the context of the wider
transport network and overall project objectives. Council experts have also raised concerns
regarding the adverse effects of the OBA/TOES Community Plan on ecology, coastal
processes, and geological features of the area arising from large areas of proposed
reclamation. Councils parks team have initially indicated the scheme has some recreational
benefits. Overall, the council experts are largely unsupportive of the OBA/TOES Community
Plan. Assessments are ongoing.
16. As with the Auckland Unitary Plan hearing process, which concluded in 2016, the Board of
Inquiry process to be followed for the East West Link will require the council family to
respond quickly with its position at the direction of the board, during any mediation, and
during the consideration of draft notice of requirement and resource consent conditions. In
light of this, council staff seek a resolution from the Planning Committee that the Political
Reference Group established through Planning Committee Resolution Number PLA/2016/6
be given extended delegation to approve the councils position throughout the entire Board
of Inquiry process, and that a decision making majority of three is confirmed through this
resolution. The Board of Inquiry process is currently due to be completed in November 2017.
prescribed under the Resource Management Act 1991. Accordingly, such a request to the
Environmental Protection Authority has not been made.
Consideration
Local board views and implications
18. Two members of Maungakiekie-Tmaki Local Board and one member of Mngere-thuhu
Local Board hold memberships on the East West Link Political Reference Group. This
provides these local boards with a direct opportunity to engage on council decisions with
respect to the Project. Any other local board views will be included as a section of the
council family submission on the Project.
19. Council staff have engaged in an active programme of meeting with the local boards
throughout the term of the Project to regularly update the boards on the latest Project
developments and provide them with technical advice on specific aspects of the project of
interest to the local board members and, by extension, the wider local community. In the
case of Maungakiekie-Tmaki Local Board, this has included undertaking two field trips with
the local board members, and attending and presenting at a public meeting.
Implementation
22. The costs of preparing the councils submission on the East West Link application will be
covered by Plans and Places existing budget and through a cost sharing of some experts
with Panuku. The costs of internal experts are covered within their own departmental
budgets.

Purpose
Item 13
1. To approve councils submission on the Governments Review of the Unit Titles Act 2010
discussion document.
Executive summary
2. The Governments Review of the Unit Titles Act 2010 discussion document focuses on
changes that could make property law around high-density living housing operate more
effectively and provide more protection for people buying or living in a unit title complex.
3. There are seven key proposals in the discussion document:
potential size thresholds for more rigorous legal requirements
improving the disclosure regime
strengthening body corporate governance
professionalism in body corporate management
ensuring adequate Long-term Maintenance Plans
accessibility of the dispute resolution regime
consideration of a separate Unit Titles Act entity
4. The draft council submission will be appended under separate cover as it was not able to be
completed in time for the agenda close-off. Attachment A to this report summarises the
proposals and recommended staff responses as presented to the political working party,
which forms the basis for the submission.
Recommendation/s
That the Planning Committee:
a) approve the submission on the Governments Review of the Unit Titles Act 2010
discussion document appended in Attachment A to the agenda report.
b) authorise the Chair of the Planning Committee to make any minor amendments to
the submission prior to lodgement on Friday 10 March 2017.
Comments
5. In response to an industry report presented to the then Minister of Housing in early 2016, the
Government has issued a discussion document on possible changes to the Unit Titles Act
1990. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment will use the feedback to inform
legislative changes to the unit titles regime.
6. Staff have worked with a political working party, consisting of councillors Darby, Hills,
Cooper, M Lee and local board member D Collings, to prepare a council submission.

7. The submission considers the discussion document from the perspective of council as
regulatory authority and council as landowner. As regulatory authority, council can
sometimes become involved in disputes or misunderstandings between tenants/owners and
bodies corporate. In addition, council owns some unit title properties and has experience of
the Act as landowner.
8. Overall, council supports the majority of the proposals in the discussion document. As a
package, the proposals will:

10. The opportunity to be involved in the working party was extended to local boards.
Improvements to the Unit Titles Act regime will benefit residents and ratepayers across
Auckland who live in or own property in a unit title development. Local Boards will have an
opportunity to be involved in a submission on any legislative change resulting from the
discussion document.
Implementation
12. There are no implementation issues arising from this report.

Purpose
Item 15
1. To provide an overview of the governments Urban Development Authorities Discussion
Document, and to approve the establishment of a political reference group to provide
direction for staff in preparing a submission.
Executive summary
2. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employments Urban Development Authorities
Discussion Document, released in February 2017, proposes new legislation for urban
development authorities.
3. The potential legislation is the governments direct response to recommendations made by
the Productivity Commission during the Using Land for Housing inquiry (2015). The
government signaled the proposal in August 2016.
4. The discussion document notes that the urban development authority proposal is one of a
number of initiatives to improve the urban development system overall, others being the
Resource Legislation Amendment Bill and the Productivity Commission inquiry into Better
Urban Planning.
5. The proposed legislation is intended to complement the governments recent introduction of
a National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity and the Housing Infrastructure
Fund.
6. The purpose of the proposed legislation is to enable better urban development at scale,
where projects are complex or strategically important.
7. The legislation would enable local and central government:
to empower nationally or locally significant urban development projects to access more
enabling development powers and land use rules; and
to establish new urban development authorities to support those projects where
required.
8. The intention is to overcome barriers to large scale urban development identified by the
Productivity Commissions Using Land for Housing inquiry.
9. The proposed legislation would enable publicly-controlled urban development authorities to
plan and oversee the necessary development. Urban development authorities would be
granted access powers to overcome these barriers, where applicable and strategically
appropriate. This may include:
powers to acquire parcels of land,
powers to plan and fund infrastructure
powers to buy, sell or lease land and buildings and fund infrastructure, and
override existing and proposed district plans.
10. Developments could include housing, commercial premises, associated infrastructure, and
amenities including parks, community spaces or shopping centres. Projects could also be
greenfield and part of city expansion. Projects would not be limited to solely housing related
projects. Development powers will not be available for stand-alone infrastructure projects.

Planning Committee
07 March 2017
11. The planning and consenting system as a whole; and any ability for urban development
authorities to access powers under the Building Act 2004 and the Building Code will not be
considered in this discussion document or during the further development of the urban
development authority proposal.
12. In its submission to the Productivity Commission Using Land for Housing draft report in June
2015, the council raised the following points regarding urban development authorities. These
are that the council:
Item 15
agrees that there can be high value in urban development agency models
does not support the establishment of a government urban development agency in
Auckland
supports and believes there is scope for government to undertake complementary
development activities and work alongside Development Auckland (now Panuku)
does not support the removal of planning powers from local government to an urban
development agency as local government is better placed to undertake local planning.
recommends government undertakes an evaluation of existing development initiatives it
has been involved in in Auckland, e.g. Tamaki Redevelopment Company Limited, and
Hobsonville Point Company Limited.
13. Councils submission is due on 19 May 2017. It is proposed that a political working group be
established to work with and provide direction to staff in developing the submission. Due to
committee dates being scheduled around Easter Holidays, a draft submission will not be
ready for the Committees 2 May meeting. It is therefore proposed that an iteration of the
submission be brought to the 2 May meeting for Councillor feedback and input, and that the
Chair and Deputy Chair be delegated authority to subsequently finalise councils submission.
Recommendation/s
That the Planning Committee:
a) agree to make a submission in respect of the governments Urban Development
Authorities Discussion Document.
b) establish a political reference group to provide direction to staff in developing
councils submission on the governments Urban Development Authorities
Discussion Document.
c) consider an iteration of the submission at the 2 May 2017 Planning Committee
meeting.
d) delegate authority to the Chair and Deputy Chair of the Planning Committee to
finalise the councils submission on the governments Urban Development Authorities
Discussion Document by 19 May 2017.
