oct 30, 2015 - Auckland Housing Accord: Further Special Housing Areas designated

Description:

The Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas (Auckland – New October 2015 Areas) Order 2015 declared a further eleven 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:
• Bute Road, Browns Bay (49 homes);
• Sunnybrae Road, Hillcrest (100 homes);
• College Hill, Ponsonby (48 homes);
• Kingdon Street, Newmarket (58 homes);
• Cornwall Park Avenue/Great South Road (64 homes);
• Layard Street, Avondale (124 homes);
• Kirkbride Road, Mangere (53 homes);
• Pacific Events Centre Drive, Manukau (900 homes);
• James Road, Manurewa (39 homes);
• Great South Road, Manurewa (24 homes); and
• Takanini Road, Takanini (130-175 homes).
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.
The Order specified the following:
• the maximum number of storeys that buildings may have was six;
• the maximum calculated height that buildings must not exceed was 27 metres;
• the minimum number of dwellings to be built in each qualifying development was four; and
• the percentage of dwellings that must be affordable dwellings, for qualifying developments relating to 15 or more dwellings;
o ten percent of dwellings the sale price was not to exceed 75 percent of the Auckland region median house price; or
o five percent of dwellings the price at which the dwelling was sold would mean that mortgage repayments for a household receiving the Auckland median household income would not exceed 30 percent of the household’s gross monthly income (based on a number of assumptions).
The Order was the sixth to create Special Housing Areas in Auckland under the terms of the Auckland Housing Accord agreed between the Minister of Housing and Mayor of Auckland in May 2013. These new areas brought the total number of Special Housing Areas established in Auckland to 97, with a potential yield of 47,000 new homes.
