Keeping Auckland's future bright is our long-term sustainability plan. This plan will guide council's activities towards more sustainable development of the city and a low carbon future.


Urban design framework

Growth management strategy

This forms the basis for Auckland city's growth planning work, setting out where, when and how Auckland will grow, and allowing change to happen in a managed and effective way.

 

Open space framework

'Our collective Taonga: Places for people, places for nature' is the open space framework for Auckland city. It sets the direction for the future improvement, protection, and management of Auckland's open spaces.

 

Transport strategies and transport policies

We have a range of transport strategies and transport policies that address aspects of sustainability such as connectivity, environment, health, community and business.

Stormwater asset management plan

The stormwater asset management plan demonstrates how Auckland city's stormwater goals and strategic targets will be achieved through effective, sustainable management of stormwater assets.

 

District plan

The District plan is a legal document that helps us sustainably manage the city's natural and physical resources through land use control.

 

Bylaws

Bylaws can be used as a tool to implement sustainability principles which may not be suitable for district plans. They affect activities like construction, stormwater management and environmental protection.
