Options for transport networks and use of land for future housing and jobs in Drury-Opāheke and Pukehohe-Paerata are available for public consultation from 10 September.
Specialists from Auckland Council and the Supporting Growth Alliance will be available at a number of public information events to explain ideas that will be developed as part of structure plans to significantly urbanise the south over 10 to 30 years.
The Supporting Growth Alliance is a partnership between NZ Transport Agency and Auckland Transport to investigate and plan networks in the north, northwest and south that will account for 30 per cent of the region’s growth by 2050.
Ideas for ultra-high rise next to Auckland's Sky Tower
A dense urban forest and a lift that takes residents straight to the doors of their apartments are among the ideas for Auckland's next soaring high-rise.
Five architecture firms presented pitches on Thursday afternoon for a $200m high-rise at 65 Federal Street, a spot adjacent to Auckland's Sky Tower.
Not all pitches complied with Auckland Council regulations – firms were asked to pitch one idea that followed the council's Unitary Plan rules and one that didn't.
