2011: A spatial odyssey - the proposed Auckland spatial plan

The Auckland Spatial Plan, now in the first stages of development, will establish the "vision statement" which will drive planning and resource management decisions in the 'Super City' over the next 20 to 30 years. As such, it will be an important document.

We recommend early engagement.

Why a Spatial Plan?

The Spatial Plan is a mandatory requirement, legislated for in the second of the three Acts to implement the Super City. The legislation specifies that the Plan address infrastructure requirements and the future mix and location of rural production, industrial, business and residential areas, as well as areas for environmental protection across the region.

The Plan is to reflect Mayor Len Brown's vision of making Auckland "the most liveable city in the world", embodying the values of inclusiveness, courage, prudence, fairness and innovation.
