How Plan Change 78 (Intensification Rules) Affects Grey Lynn

26 September 2022 by Tania Mace

Plan Change 78 could mean these Grey Lynn villas are zoned for apartment buildings unless the "special character" overlay is retained — Plan Change 78 rezones these properties in Selbourne St to allow 5-storey apartment buildings as they are within 200m of Grey Lynn Local Centre (Surrey Cres Shops) – a local shopping centre that Council considers “large”. They are currently zoned single house and are not covered by the special character overlay.

The proposed Plan Change 78 rezones all Auckland suburbs. It is open for submissions until 29 September 2022. Make sure you have your say!
