A government-appointed panel yesterday released its “Unitary Plan” for Auckland’s housing market – essentially a raft of recommendations to boost dwelling supply around Auckland and increase the stock of homes by 422,000 by 2041 in order to ease Auckland’s chronic “housing crisis”.
The Plan aims to expand Auckland both up and out so that 270,000 homes can be built within the existing urban boundary and 152,000 in rural areas and around towns like Warkworth, Pukekohe and Kumeu.
