​PM 14: NPS-UD Removal of Car Parking Minimums – Consequential Technical Amendments

About the plan change

The National Policy Statement on Urban Development (NPS-UD) required the Council to remove car parking minimums from the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) and Auckland Council District Plan – Hauraki Gulf Islands Section without going through a plan change (Non-Schedule 1) process. The removal of minimums occurred on 11 February 2022.

The proposal aims to make several consequential amendments to the Auckland Unitary Plan and Hauraki Gulf Islands District Plan which lie outside the scope of the Non-Schedule 1 changes. The proposed changes are necessary to ensure that both plans continue to function as intended following the removal of car parking minimums.
