North West Spatial Land Use Strategy

The Spatial Land Use Strategy was adopted by the Planning Committee in May 2021. You can view the final Spatial Land Use Strategy – North West on the Auckland Council website.

About the strategy

New communities will be established in Auckland's future urban areas over the next ten to 30 years.

In order to support this growth, an integrated approach to land use planning and transport investment is needed.

To help ensure our future land use and transport networks work together, we are drafting a Spatial Land Use Strategy for the future urban zoned areas of:

• Kumeū-Huapai
• Riverhead
• Redhills North.

Although the land is in the future urban zone, structure plans to show more details land uses for these areas are not due until around 2025. This is because the land is not yet ready for development due to infrastructure constraints.

What the strategy will do

The Spatial Land Use strategy will identify potential locations for future centres and business land that our new transport network will support.

The strategy is not a detailed structure plan and is only intended as a high-level outline of the future land uses in this zone.

Te Tupu Ngātahi Supporting Growth (a partnership between Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency and Auckland Transport), is planning the transport investment in Auckland’s Future Urban zoned areas over the next 10 to 30 years. A proposed transport network has been developed and will be integrated with Auckland Council’s plans around land use. You can find more information and give feedback on the proposed transport network on the Supporting Growth website.
