Plan Change 78 Update
Plan Change 78 has been paused by Auckland Council for a period of two months, until the end of May 2024. This pause will not apply to the forthcoming hearing on 9 April 2024 of Topic 009H Qualifying Matters A-I Historic Heritage; nor to completing the City Centre Zone hearings, as to which the only outstanding matter is Council’s reply submissions (already received), and the expert conferencing on the Bonus Floor Area Ratio provisions.
