Auckland is an amazing place to live - incredible landscape, great people and so much to do. That's why it already ranks as one of the best places in the world to live and work. But Aucklanders' long-term vision is to make this the world's most liveable city.
The Auckland Unitary Plan is crucial to making that vision a reality, and creating the more compact city that Aucklanders have asked for.
The plan will set out what can be built and where, shaping where we live, where we work and how we look after the things we value in both our urban and rural areas. Click on the

Auckland is projected to grow by a million people over the next 30 years. That equates to more than 600 people a week who are either born here, move here or return to Auckland for the opportunities and quality of life it offers.
Meanwhile, the city builds only about 50 homes a week. We need action.
The Auckland Unitary Plan is essential to getting things moving. It won't build the homes - it's a rulebook, not a building crew - but it will set the framework for landowners and developers to build the homes we need. And growing in the right way. Because this isn't just about numbers - Aucklanders also want better quality buildings as well as a choice of homes, so that they can stay in their communities as their housing needs change.

More compact and higher quality business areas are essential to help our economy get stronger and more globally competitive.
The Auckland Unitary Plan will help ensure that the land that Auckland needs for its businesses is provided, safeguarded and developed. It will also help to make the places we do business work better. More attractive and higher density business areas will draw new investment and help our companies be more innovative and productive.
Auckland Council has set out plans for the most extensive infrastructure investment in Auckland's history. This includes better transport, parks, libraries, community centres and sports facilities. The draft Auckland Unitary Plan allows for more homes and businesses near our town centres, which will ensure more people benefit from that investment. It will mean a stronger economy and stronger communities: more customers for more local businesses, more people closer to more jobs, more sustainable facilities and livelier neighbourhoods.

The Auckland Unitary Plan will be key to getting the balance right between enabling the housing and economic growth that Auckland needs, and looking after the things we most value - our environment, character and heritage.
That includes ensuring the growth happens in the right places, in a way that maintains our coastal areas, that strengthens the health of our rivers, streams and wonderful harbours and that keeps our rural land productive. Development also needs to be the right quality - enhancing our historic character areas rather than detracting from them.
It's important Aucklanders have their say on the rules so that the Auckland Unitary Plan provides the right level of protection without being too restrictive.
