feb 6, 2015 - Auckland Housing Accord: Further Special Housing Areas designated
Description:
Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas (Auckland – New January 2015 Areas) Order 2015 declared a further four areas in Auckland City to be Special Housing Areas for the purposes of the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act 2013. The Order also specified the criteria that a development must have in order to be a qualifying development for the purposes of the Act.
The additional Special Housing Areas were:
• Beach Haven Road;
• Mt Eden Road and Haul Road;
• Point View Drive, East Tamaki; and
• Restall Road, Woodhill.
A proposed development in a Special Housing Area that was predominantly residential and met the qualifying criteria could be fast-tracked under the Act, rather than consented under the Resource Management Act 1991.
For three of the new Special Housing Areas, where the development related to 15 or more dwellings, the Order stated the percentage of the dwellings that must be affordable and set out the criteria for affordability.
