36. Comparison and Interpretation • The Unitary Plan is highly specific with zoning in Waterview compared with the District Plan. • Greater intensification of the suburb with a variety of residential zones with increase limitations on development controls. • Increased Business Zones to service the neighbourhood (decreased reliance on Avondale and Pt Chev.). • Retention of Public Open Space. • Over the next 10 years we would expect to see development in Waterview to be well underway in order to take advantage of provisions made in the Unitary Plan especially given it’s central location.

37. The Plan’s Development Strategy sets out how Auckland will change and grow over the next 30 years to become the world’s most liveable city. • Auckland’s future lies in being an international city amongst other international cities, while maintaining the special qualities that make it a unique environment and an inclusive community. • First, the Development Strategy recognises that strengthening Auckland as an international city relies on improved, balanced socio-economic development across Auckland. It aims to improve economic performance by prioritising innovation and the clustering of activities.

38. Second, the Development Strategy promotes a better quality of life for all Aucklanders, by encouraging access to more housing and jobs, as well as opportunities for recreation, cultural, and leisure activities. There is an emphasis on the importance of building strong, inclusive communities around local neighbourhoods and centres. • Third, the Development Strategy ensures that our natural, marine and built environments are responsibly managed. • Fourth, to achieve sustainable development, Auckland’s continued high population growth needs to be matched to a range of accessible, quality housing and employment choices.

39. The Development Strategy has four key elements:

40. Of all infrastructure, transport has the strongest influence on the location, patterns and quality of place. The Auckland Council has the opportunity to co-ordinate infrastructure and land use across Auckland, and overcome historic deficits. • The City Rail Link is the most important new transport investment; it will achieve the step change needed for the transformation of Auckland, by driving a major shift towards greater use of Auckland’s public transport, and an increase in the density of residential and business development in the city centre and along the western and southern rail lines. • The Development Strategy enables more opportunities for people to live near the coast and in ways that respect local character and limit the adverse impacts on natural values.

41. MOVING TO A QUALITY, COMPACT AUCKLAND(D3) • Auckland seeks a quality compact model of growth that prevents excessive expansion into our rural hinterland. • Aucklanders want to make best use of the land that has already been developed or targeted for development, supplemented with well-managed expansion into appropriate Greenfields areas. • A quality compact form will benefit Auckland because: • Denser cities have greater productivity and economic growth. • It makes better use of existing infrastructure. • Improved public transport becomes more viable. • Rural character can be maintained. • Negative environmental effects can be reduced. • It creates social and cultural vitality.

42. THE TWO BIG PLACE BASED INITIATIVES(D2) Most major world cities have strategies which allow them to grow within (through quality infill/ intensification) and grow out, in order to accommodate projected population growth. Auckland is only at the early stages of intensification. The City Centre is a key visitor destination and New Zealand’s commercial, financial, educational and cultural centre. It will gain in popularity as a residential area. The City Centre needs to play a greater role in Auckland’s international competitiveness and future success. To achieve this, a City Centre Masterplan was developed in parallel with the Auckland Plan. This Masterplan provides a 20-year transformational direction for the future of the City Centre. The Southern Initiative is an area of Auckland with high social need, yet significant economic opportunity. Unleashing the human and economic potential of this area will be a powerful Force.

44. A Rural Urban Boundary(RUB) and staged release of greenfields land • An important element in determining our future urban form is to define where the urban area stops and non-urban or rural environments start. • The Development Strategy provides for a Rural Urban Boundary (RUB) that will define the maximum extent of urban development to 2040 in the form of a permanent rural-urban interface.

45. Decade by decade housing supply • Building consents for new homes were at a 30-year low in 2011. The property market suffered following the global economic downturn that began in 2007. While house prices • Chapter 10: Urban Auckland shows examples of housing types across a wide range of densities and formats, and indicates the types of locations where we can expect them to be built. This is also explained in the following Development Strategy maps. • A healthy supply of high density housing has the potential to address the challenge of housing affordability, through efficiencies in land use and infrastructure provision.
