The impact of the Auckland Plan and Unitary Plan on Ellerslie
The ERA held public meetings in 2013 and 2014 to discuss the impact of the Auckland Plan and Unitary Plan on Ellerslie. On the 30th September 2013 the Auckland Council published the draft Unitary Plan and residents had until the 28th February 2014 to make formal submission on the draft. In May 2013 the ERA made submissions to the Auckland Council on errors and changes it deemed necessary to the proposed Unitary Plan. The ERA Committee was pleased that the majority of its submissions were carefully considered and included in the draft Unitary Plan. The ERA made its final submission on the 28th of February 2014. The submission contained a number of changes to the proposed terraced housing and apartment zones and recommended that the area between Cawley street and Wilkinson Road should be zoned for an apartment building between 3 storeys and 12 storeys high.
The ERA Committee has carefully scrutinised the Unitary Plan and Rules to ensure that all residents submissions were included in the Final submission based on a clear democratic majority of supporters for each change.
