Proposal to scrap buidling height restrictions in Auckland CBD
A major Auckland property developer says a government proposal to remove building height restrictions in the CBD is just politics and he doesn't believe there will be a single new apartment built in the short term because of the change. Under current rules, parts of the Auckland CBD have building height limits of 72.5m, in other areas the limit is 35m. The proposal would remove these caps for the majority of the central city and scrap other rules about how big and far apart buildings have to be. Matthew Theunissen reports.
