1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Auckland Council has been voting on this plan change, which 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: would enable Chris Bishop's big lofty goal of more housing 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: in the super city and higher housing in the super City. 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: They voted this afternoon, Shane into some councilor with me, Shane, 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: good evening. 6 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 2: Good evening, how's it going on? Good? 7 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: So what have you decided? 8 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 2: Yes, eighteen five vote just now to pass the plan, 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 2: so that will go next through to consultation. And look, 10 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: I think it's a great day for the city. 11 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: So that means that we will see fifteen story apartment 12 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 1: blocks next to train stations, next to city rail link 13 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: stations rather than three stories allowed everywhere. 14 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. So the plan is to intense fire 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: long rapid transit corridors and make the most of that 16 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: CURL investment as well. 17 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: And what does it mean? How many extra houses do 18 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: you know near that? 19 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 2: Yees? So we've been given a target which is legislated, 20 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: of enabling two million. Now the reality is we're not 21 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: quite sure exactly how much of the will actually be built. 22 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: That's just the capacity that we have to provide. But yeah, 23 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: we'll be expecting some significant investment over the coming years. 24 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: Shane. That sounds great. You obviously voted for it. What 25 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: is the point of the consultation now. 26 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's time for people to feedback in 27 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 2: and say, look, we might have got this all that 28 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: area wrong, or make some adjustments to people's neighborhoods and 29 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: things like that. It's really important that we allow people 30 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: to have their say and we'll certainly take that into account. 31 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: Well you really know, of course, mate. 32 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: So if someone lives in EPSOM, someone lives in Kingsland 33 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: and they don't want come hellow high water a fifteen 34 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: story apartment block next to their house, you're going to say, okay, sure, ye, Well. 35 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: There's a process for that, right, And we're seeing entire 36 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: neighborhoods and residents of rapids groups such engage in that 37 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: process already, and so they have a consultation period to 38 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: do that, and yeah, do let us know it is 39 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: important as part of democracy. 40 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: Appreciate your time.
