New Zealand cuts Auckland’s housing target to 1.6 million amid public pushback, allowing local control over densification.
The New Zealand government is reducing Auckland’s housing target from 2 million to 1.6 million homes, citing public opposition and political concerns, particularly in suburban areas.
The change allows greater flexibility for local councils to limit densification outside key transport corridors and the city center, while still supporting higher density near rail lines and the CBD.
The move, driven by widespread feedback and political pressure, aims to balance growth with community preferences.
Legislation under the Resource Management Act will support urban development, with final decisions expected after the council’s submission process concludes next year.
