Search original submissions on PC 120

Plan Change 120 submissions are available from 12 March 2026. This is before the 'further submission' period and the Summary of Decisions Requested (SDR) is publicly notified. The SDR is a document that details changes, support or opposition to the public submissions. 

Publication of the PC 120 original submissions will: 

• assist the Independent Hearings Panel to prepare for the hearings programme 
• assist submitters, the public and panel members to read and understand the original public submissions before the 'further submissions' period
• allow submitters to engage early with other submitters on issues raised in their submissions 
• support transparency.  

Important things to know 

• The 'further submissions' period starts from the date Auckland Council makes a public notification of the Summary of Decisions Requested (SDR) report. This will be from 14 May to 5 June 2026. Check our Timeline for the Independent Hearings Panel for PC 120 for details. 
• You can only make a 'further submission' after the SDR is publicly notified.
• Notification of the SDR is expected on 14 May 2026. 
• Auckland Council has removed or hidden the limited offensive or sensitive information in the public submissions. 

Requests to remove or hide information 

A small number of submissions have not been made public because the submitter requested their name or address be kept confidential. The panel is considering these requests and has yet to make a decision.

If you think any offensive or sensitive information should be hidden, email unitaryplan@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz to make a request.

If you have made a submission and want your personal details removed or hidden, you must make a written request to the Independent Hearings Panel by Tuesday 24 March 2026. The panel chair will consider these requests.

Why information may be removed or hidden

Some information may be removed or hidden in submissions. This does not imply that Auckland Council:

• finds the content offensive
• is taking an editorial stance.

Auckland Council removes or hides information for:

• Privacy and protection: Removing sensitive details that could expose submitters to scams, abuse or identity theft. This includes bank statements and health information.
• Third-party privacy: Removing faces and number plates, as well as the names of people other than the submitter.
• Maintaining community standards: Removing content that may be offensive to the wider community to maintain a constructive public record. This could include racist, sexist or abusive language.
• Confidentiality: Removing information based on requests for anonymity or confidentiality. These requests are assessed against public interest requirements.

How to find an original submission 

You can find an original submission by searching for the submission number, submitter name or organisation.

If you search by name or organisation, it must match how it appears in our submitter list.

Published submissions remain available until Friday 8 May 2026. After this date, we will remove submissions to prepare for the next stage in the PC 120 process.
