Auckland Council is calling for a private plan change proposal to develop prime horticultural land south of the city to be thrown out. Last month Auckland Council’s Planning Committee voted to accept the private plan change covering 34.5ha of land in Patumahoe, a small rural town on the outskirts of Auckland. According to the council the land isn't located within Auckland’s future urban zone, or included in its Future Urban Land Supply Strategy. Auckland Council’s Planning Committee debated the developers private plan change proposal last month. Many of the councillors stated their opposition to it, but said they would follow the advice of council officers and accept the private plan change application and use the independent hearings to oppose it.
