Chancery shopping areaIf you're looking at undertaking a building project within Auckland's central area, isthmus or Hauraki Gulf Islands a council planning service provides you an independent urban design panel peer review.

A first of its kind in New Zealand, the panel plays a key role in facilitating and promoting quality urban design projects, and high quality urban environments. The panel assesses projects and provides pre-application and application advice on development in the city.
