New record for building activity in Auckland
New consenting data shows the Unitary Plan is working by
providing housing options in the areas where Aucklanders
want to live, with more than 90 per cent of dwellings being
consented within Auckland’s existing urban
area.
The figures also showed that in the year
ending December 2018, 10,637 dwellings were ‘completed’
by having a Code Compliance Certificate (CCC) issued,
setting a new record for building activity in a 12-month
period on Auckland Council records.
“The
Unitary Plan removed much of the regulation around density
and since it became operational we’ve seen most of
Auckland’s housing growth happening within urban
areas.” - Penny Pirrit, Director of Urban Growth and
Housing.
