High-rise housing will be allowed on busy bus routes in Auckland
Auckland Council will progress plans to reverse widespread housing development up to three storeys and instead focus on allowing high-rise apartments near train stations and along busy bus routes.
The government reduced the minimum housing capacity required for Auckland Council's Plan Change 120 from two million to 1.4 million earlier this year.
As a result, council's planning team looked at what changes could be made to Plan Change 120.
