Liveable communities

Auckland city grows by approximately 20 people every day, of which approximately 50 to 60 percent is natural increase. On current census statistics, Auckland city could gain over 140,000, a population approximately the size of the city of Wellington, over the next 18 years.

Auckland City Council has several plans and policies that take advantage of growth and the change it brings while still preserving the character and environment Aucklanders value.

The Growth Management Strategy outlines where, when and how Auckland will grow and the strategies that will ensure this happens in a managed and effective way.

Liveable community plans deliver many of the objectives of the Growth Management Strategy. Currently there are liveable community plans for Avondale, Glen Innes, Panmure, Ellerslie, Otahuhu and Newmarket. These plans generate projects to support the growth of these communities. The projects are then fed into the LTCCP and Council's Annual Plan, to be implemented as and when required by their communities.
