The plan aims to unlock more housing, jobs, and economic activity by letting buildings soar taller, cluster closer, and stretch bigger — especially near transit hubs. It also includes smart tweaks to heritage zones like Karangahape Road, removing underperforming sites to free up space for development while preserving key historic character. Officials argue this is the best way to maximize value from existing infrastructure investments, with proposals open for public feedback until October 16th.
