sep 12, 2014 - Auckland Housing Accord: Further Special Housing Areas announced
Description:
A fourth tranche of 17 Special Housing Areas (SHAs) under the Auckland Housing Accord were announced. These 17 areas were expected to yield more than 8,000 additional new homes, bringing to a total a potential for 33,500 new homes in 80 SHAs across Auckland.
The 17 new SHAs were designated in the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas (Auckland—New September 2014 Areas) Order 2014, which came into force on 13 November 2014.
The Auckland Housing Accord (announced in May 2013 and signed in October 2013) between the Government the Auckland Council was intended to result in increased housing supply and improved housing affordability in Auckland, over the interim period until the Auckland Unitary Plan became operative (2016). The Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act 2013 provided for the establishment of SHAs and within these areas, qualifying developments could be streamlined and fast-tracked.
The first tranche of SHAs announced at the time of the Accord provided 6,000 new homes across 11 SHAs. The second tranche in December 2013 provided for a further 11 SHAs and 9,500 homes and the third tranche announced in May 2013 provided for 41 SHAs and up to 18,000 homes.
