Auckland Council and the government have recently announced plans to cooperate with a new Auckland City Deal. The deal concerns collaborations between council and central government over the next few decades, across issues such as Eden Park’s ownership and operation or investigations into a potential bed levy.
Part of the plan and part of Auckland Council’s recent disputes with government has been housing planning. In February of this year, the minimum housing cap for Auckland was lowered from 2 million to 1.6 million, and was lowered again in March to 1.4 million.
The drop came alongside complaints from many residents of central suburbs such as Ponsonby, Mt Eden, and Epsom, who say intensification would hurt the character of their neighbourhoods. On the other side of the debate are those who say that intensification is necessary to ensure housing remains affordable, especially close to the CBD.
To discuss the debate and what the City Deal has for Auckland, News Director Castor spoke to Senior Lecturer in Urban Planning, Dr. Elham Bahmanteymouri.
Blind Mango Chutney showcases local magic with special studio guests Caitlin Smith, Ben McNicoll and Mike Booth from the Auckland Jazz Orchestra ahead of their 30 July concert at Victoria Theatre, Devonport.
💚 A gentle beginning with things picking up as the show goes on.
