9 oct. 2013 - Special Housing Areas - locations announced

Description:

The Minister of Housing and the Mayor of Auckland announced further Special Housing Areas under the Auckland Housing Accord and the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act 2013. The 10 additional Special Housing Areas along with Weymouth (see above) were expected to bring 6,000 sections on to the market and contribute to the Auckland Housing Accord’s target of 39,000 new homes over three years.
The locations of the 10 additional Special Housing Areas were:
• Addison, Papakura (500 homes, 32 hectares);
• Alexander Crescent, East Tamaki (148 homes, 8.1hectares);
• Anselmi Ridge, Pukekohe (64 homes, 6.8 hectares);
• Flat Bush, Murphys Road, East Tamaki (275 homes, 37.8 hectares);
• Flat Bush, School Road, East Tamaki (300 homes, 7 hectares);
• Hobsonville Catalina Precinct and Marine Industry Precinct (1,200 homes, 28.2 hectares);
• Huapai Triangle, Kumeu (2,000 homes, 65.1 hectares);
• McWhirter Block, West Harbour (166 homes, 10.1 hectares);
• Orakei, Auckland City (75 homes, 0.8 hectares); and
• Wesley College, Pukekohe (1,000 homes, 277.7 hectares).
The 11 Special Housing Areas were recommended by the Auckland Council and approved by Cabinet. They were formally designated from 1 November 2013, following an Order in Council (Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas (Auckland) Order 2013). Applications for sub-divisions that met the required criteria were then able to be considered by the Council under the fast-tracked mechanisms in the Housing Accords and Special Housing Areas Act 2013, instead of the Resource Management Act 1991. This required approvals within six months for greenfield developments.
There were requirements across the Special Housing Areas for a proportion of the completed homes to be affordable housing. This varied from 100 percent in Weymouth, to a smaller proportion in other areas. There were also requirements as to the minimum number of dwellings to be built in each area and the maximum number of storeys/height of dwellings.
