Auckland’s water came mostly from dams in early February 2026, while housing plan changes threaten delays and costs.
Auckland’s water supply in early February 2026 came mostly from dams (86%), with 13% from the Waikato River and 1% from groundwater, as daily usage averaged 451 million litres.
Meanwhile, uncertainty persists over housing intensification plans, with the central government reconsidering rules that could scale back a two-million-home target, potentially invalidating $13 million in council planning work.
Council leaders warn that changes could delay projects, increase costs, and erode public trust, especially in areas with inadequate stormwater infrastructure.
The government may shift focus to transit corridors, but officials urge clearer, timely direction to avoid further disruption.
