Auckland's Future Housing Plan - Plan Change 120

You will have received a letter from Auckland Council about this. More information and details HERE.

Submissions open from 3 November to 19 December 2025.

Auckland Council is proposing changes to the Auckland Unitary Plan – the city’s rulebook for where new homes and businesses can be built.

These proposed changes - known as Proposed Plan Change 120 - respond to central government direction for more housing and allow the council to strengthen its natural hazard rules.

They aim to better protect people and property from floods and other natural hazards and focus more new homes in safer, well-connected areas close to jobs, shops, services, and fast, frequent public transport.

This approach makes better use of existing infrastructure, such as the $5.5 billion City Rail Link and allows for more housing choice near town centres, train stations and rapid busways.

These are still proposed changes. We encourage Aucklanders to have their say before final decisions are made by making a submission on Plan Change 120.
