Government directions

A direction is a law that starts only after the government officially publishes it. It is required because council is using a 20-month Streamlined Planning Process for PC120.

Check 'The Resource Management (Direction to Auckland Council to use the Streamlined Planning Process to Prepare Proposed Plan Change 120: Housing Intensification and Resilience) Notice 2025' to find out about:

• the government’s direction
• the statement of expectations for PC 120.
