    Summary: Delivering opportunity and economic prosperity

    Economic growthis one of the main driversof the 30-year Auckland Plan vision to createthe worlds most liveable city. This is aboutfocusing on innovation, building internationalconnections, growing skills, developing a morecreative and vibrant city and being morebusiness-friendly.

    The 10-year Economic Development Strategy(EDS) sets out the actions to deliver on theseaims, but Aucklands economic success alsorelies on the way it grows physically: its centres,business areas, commercial and industrial space

    and the quality of its buildings and public spaces.This physical growthis governed by theProposed Auckland Unitary Plan (PAUP).The PAUP will replace the disparate legacy plans

    of the former regional and local authorities ofAuckland, many of which are already more thana decade old. As the PAUP progresses it will carrymore legal weight in planning decisions. Whilethe PAUP is often described as the rule book,it is also, from an economic development pointof view, a highly valuable investment signal toindividuals, business and investors.

    The PAUP is a statutory, enabling document. Itsets the objectives, policies and planning rulesfor Auckland to be able to grow in a way thatunlocks its potential, creating an environment

    where businesses can grow and prosper. In short,it enables the setting for growth, and thereforeworks alongside a range of other council policiesand strategies.

    Good quality design is key to creating an economically stronger and more vibrant city.

    The PAUP proposes a simpler and moreconsistentset of rules across Auckland thatset out what can be built and where. It aims toachieve the Auckland Plan directives to become ahigher-quality and more efcient and compactcity. A city with greater agglomerationbenets;with more people closer to more jobs; whichsafeguards existing business land and securesmore for the future; and which creates thebetter-designed and more vibrant centresacrossAuckland that will attract businessesto investand the brightest talentto live and work.

    The plan sets out a regional policy statement toguide Aucklands growth including enablingeconomic wellbeing and quality urban growth,as well as safeguarding the things that helpmake Auckland special. Aucklands environment,coastlines and culture are a core part ofAucklands global competitive advantage andpoint of difference with other world cities.

    While the Unitary Plan covers many issues ofimportance for economic growth, it does not

    cover the full breadth of business engagement

    activities and actions proposed in the EDS.Nor does it set out council investment plans those are in the Long-term Plan (see graphic).Instead, it aims to enable growth to be focusedin those areas where there is existing or plannedinfrastructure public transport, freight routes,broadband, utilities, water and wastewater.This makes the investment go further anddevelopments more economically viable. Byenabling Auckland to be more efcient andliveable, it aims to secure its longer-termeconomic success.

    Auckland Councils role is to lead the vision,develop appropriate regulation, plan and investin infrastructure to enable Aucklands businesses,landowners, institutions and people to do whatthey do best.

    This document sets out the plans aims toenable a more business-friendly city, alongwith the challenge to businessesto embracethe opportunities provided by the new UnitaryPlan to help create a successful and prosperous

    Auckland.

    A business-friendly and well-functioning Auckland

    The Auckland Plan and the EDS adoptinternational consultants Greg Clark and JoeHuxleys denition of business-friendly:

    Explicit attempts to reduce the barriers,costs, risks and uncertainties of all formsof commercial activity to stimulate andsupport local business growth, local businessretention, and the attraction of new businessto the local area.(G. Clark and J. Huxley, Business FriendlyCities: City Government and the LocalBusiness Growth and Investment Climate,

    September 2011.)

    The challenge, as set out in the Auckland Plan,is to accommodate over the next 30 years:

    up to 275,000 new jobs

    up to one million more people

    at least 1,400 hectares of additional business land

    an average expected demand for 13,000 newdwellings per year.

    The PAUP sets the rules to help Auckland meetthis growth challenge, while enabling the visionand achievement of the ve priorities set out bythe EDS (see below).

    Achieving the ambitious economic targets in the EDS would mean that Aucklandseconomy would improve 20 places in 20 years in current OECD GDP per capita rankings.

    Smarter tools, simpler rules

    E-Plan

    Developing one plan for the whole of Auckland

    is a major undertaking, but it is essential formaking our planning system more effective,more efcient and easier to understand.Many of the 14 existing district and regionalplans that the Unitary Plan will eventuallyreplace are already more than a decade old.

    Auckland Council has delivered both the draftand the proposed plans as electronic e-Plansfor thetext, with a GIS map viewer for theplanning maps.In addition, the PAUP comes

    with a planning enquiry tool to help quicklyidentify the rules that apply to a specicproperty. These electronic tools put the PAUPat the ngertips of businesses, landowners andresidents, making it much more efcient andrelatively straightforward to work with, despiteits complexity and size.

    This method is a rst for Auckland Council andhas never been done on this scale anywhere else

    in New Zealand. Hard-copy versions of the planand the planning maps are still available and aredeposited at every council library in Auckland.

    Streamlined regulation

    The PAUP provides a more simplied and

    streamlined approachto current land-useplanning regulations, making it easier forbusinesses to navigate. It offers Aucklanders especially landowners and developers a muchmore consistent framework for development, withgreater clarity about what can and cant be done.

    The PAUP consolidates the many different zonesthat exist in the current, operative plans intoa smaller set of zones, overlays and precincts.For example, it reduces the current set of 99

    residential zones to six, and 44 business zones to10.

    In addition, it provides stronger regionalobjectives and policies governing urban and ruralactivity, and proposes much greater certaintyon issues such as notication and densitycontrols. It also provides more robust designcriteria, with supporting guidance given in theAuckland Design Manual.

    Stronger clustering and agglomeration of businesses will drive productivity and innovation.

    Shaping Auckland for economic growth

    The Auckland Plan sets out the following keyprinciples for enabling economic growth, whichthe PAUP needs to deliver.

    Plan and provide for sufcient business-zonedland and infrastructure.

    Strengthen Aucklands network ofmetropolitan, town, local and neighbourhoodcentres so they are well-connected and meetcommunity needs for jobs, housing, and goodsand services, at a variety of scales.

    Use parking standards and innovativeparking mechanisms to help achieve the

    compact city goal.

    Centres should be the primary focus for retailand other commercial activity.

    Develop and manage business areas tocomplement centres, without underminingtheir role and function in the centres network,and to provide for a diversity of opportunitiesfor business and employment growth.

    Demand good design in all development.

    The PAUP looks at enabling better-quality andhigher-density development to achieve a morevibrant, efcient and attractive Auckland, withsignicant benets for long-term economic

    growth.

    Space to grow

    The PAUP sets out a series of issues facing

    Auckland, along with policies and methods tomanage these. In particular, the plan includesa focus on increasing Aucklands capacity forgrowth, noting that:

    At current growth rates, we face a shortageof business-zoned land, which is a problemfor land-extensive industries, such asmanufacturing, transport and storage,construction, and wholesale trade. Theseactivities face pressure from higher value

    activities including retail, service sectorsand, in some places, residential growth. IfAuckland is to continue to benet fromemployment and GDP associated with land-extensive industry, then we need to providefor the future growth of these activities andsupport them with a transport infrastructuredelivering efcient movement of freight.[PAUP Part 1, Chapter B, Section 1.2 Enablingeconomic wellbeing]

    The PAUP enables:

    the potential for up to 270m square metresof additional business oor space within theexisting urban area; and

    an increase of 15,500ha (gross) of new greeneldland, which will provide up to 1400ha (net) ofrequired future business land as identied in theAuckland Plan.

    The future areas for growth in the PAUP areidentied by a Future Urban zone, giving greatercertainty of where growth will happen over

    the coming decades. Land will be released asinfrastructure needs are planned and provided for.

    These zones are grouped with three broadgeographic areas highlighted within the PAUP (seemaps below). The council will need to do moredetailed prioritisation and structure planning workto assess the location, size and timing of specicbusiness land to be provided within the FutureUrban zone. As a guide to the extent of possibledevelopment in these areas, indicative housing and

    jobs gures are shown see below:

    SouthPotential for:

    33,000-42,000 additional dwellings

    35,000 additional jobs

    North-WestPotential for:

    12,000-14,000 additional dwellings

    13,000 additional jobs

    In addition, the proposed plan is explicit about safeguarding existing industrial land for industrial uses,as well as further restrictions through overlays to prevent residential development near heavy industryareas. This is critical to ensure Auckland effectively manages its current resource of business land.

    Better design

    It was clear from feedback on the March 2013

    draft of the Unitary Plan that Aucklanderswant better-quality new buildings and publicspaces. Achieving this will have a key impact onmaking Auckland a better place to do business.Creating more attractive, well-designed businessplaces that are more compact and efcient isan important step in attracting new businesses,highly-skilled employees and more customers.

    The proposed plan is supported by the non-statutory Auckland Design Manual, which sets

    practical guidance for meeting the rules, withbuildings that are well-designed, sustainable andeconomically viable. It is a live document, soongoing input is being sought. Currently it onlycovers residential development, but in futureguidance for retail, commercial and industrialactivity will be included. Find out more atwww.aucklanddesignmanual.co.nz

    Special Housing Areas

    Through the councils partnership with central

    government and the recently agreed HousingAccord, the Unitary Plan has status as adoptedpolicy when processing consents within SpecialHousing Areas (SHAs). This reects the focus onthe housing supply-side of growth and tacklingAucklands problems with housing affordability.It also gives developers certainty aroundprovisions and fast-track consenting. Under thefast-track mechanisms, approvals for greenelddevelopments must be within six months

    and within three months for browneld sites.Approvals had previously averaged three yearsand one year respectively.

    You can nd out more on thecouncils website.

    Market attractiveness of areas will be enhanced through a combination of well-designed development,and coordinated place-based investment.

    Investing for growth

    Auckland Council has set out plans for the

    greatest investment in infrastructure the cityhas ever seen. It is double the levels seen in thelast few years of the former legacy councils.These are being funded through efciencysavings of the business (about $145m a yearso far) and borrowing for long-term capitalprojects.

    As part of the central governments BetterLocal Government reforms, a new requirementfor a 30-year infrastructure strategy is beingintroduced in time for the 2015 Long-term Plan.

    The result is a rapidly growing set ofopportunities across the city. Areas that areconsidered less market-attractive now couldquickly change as new and better transportfacilities, improved public and open spaces and

    higher-quality social amenities are developed.

    Over the 30-year horizon of the Auckland Plan,the changes will be dramatic. Children born todaywill be catching the train to work with littlememory of an Auckland without the City RailLink.

    The challenge for the PAUP is to enable businessand housing growth to make the most of theopportunities that this investment provides; inturn this makes the investment more viable, byensuring that more people and businesses areable to benet from it.

    This needs to be a partnership. Market perceptionsand activity will shift through a combination ofwell-designed quality development by the privatesector, and coordinated place-based investment

    by the public sector.

    Attractive business spaces help attract high-calibre employees and further economic investment.

    Signicant investment in Aucklands transport

    system has occurred over the past decade andwill continue into the future. By 2016 a new eetof electric trains will be operating on Aucklandsrail network, supported by a revamped busnetwork, integrated ticketing and integratedpublic transport fares across all modes of travel.

    In 2017 the Waterview Connection will beopened, completing the Western Ring Route andoffering an alternative to State Highway 1 as wellas a direct motorway link between the Airportand the City Centre. The AMETI/East-West Link isa major investment in improving accessibility andconnectivity for all modes of travel over the nextdecade whether freight, cars or public transport.Early stages of AMETI are nearing completion,including a new Panmure train station and a newlink road from Mt Wellington to Glen Innes thatbypasses the busy Panmure roundabout andoffers signicant travel time savings.

    The Unitary Plan focuses intensication inareas around train stations or within walkingdistance of frequent public transport to supportthe efciency of those services and to enableresidents living in higher-density areas to have awider choice of transport options.

    Proposed transformational projects such as the

    City Rail Link and the AMETI/East-West Link alsosupport and are supported by the UnitaryPlans direction of growth towards areas withgood transport access, for people and freight.For example, the City Rail Link will cut rail traveltimes from many parts of Auckland to the citycentre by 10 to 15 minutes making areas closeto rail much more accessible to central Aucklandthan they are currently.

    There is now broad agreement on the keytransport projects needed to enable Aucklandsgrowth. As well as the ones mentioned above,these include protecting the route for anadditional Harbour Crossing, widening theSouthern Motorway between Manukau andPapakura, improving the Northern Busway andinvesting in roading improvements to betterlink Auckland to Northland and Waikato.This agreement highlighted by governmentannouncements in June 2013 is essential in

    providing businesses with greater certainty aboutAucklands future. To nd out more about long-term transport investment, view the IntegratedTransport Programme on the Auckland Transportwebsite.

    A more compact, efcient Auckland will help make public transport and other infrastructure more viable.

    City centre zone Applies to Aucklands central business district and surrounding areas,including the waterfront and coastal marine area to the north, andKarangahape Road to the south.

    Metropolitan centre zone Applies to 10 centres located around Auckland, which will act as hubs forhigh-frequency public transport.

    Town centre zone Applies to suburban centres throughout Auckland, the satellite centres

    of Warkworth and Pukekohe, and the rural towns of Helensville andWellsford.

    Local centre zone Applies to a large number of small centres throughout Auckland.

    Neighbourhood centre zone Refers to single corner stores or small shopping strips in residentialneighbourhoods.

    Mixed Use zone Typically located around centres and along high-frequency publictransport routes, and provides for residential as well as smaller scalecommercial activity.

    General Business zone Provides for business activities that may not be appropriate for or are

    unable to locate in centres, including light industrial and large-formatretail activities.

    Business Park zone Provides locations for large ofce-type business activities in a parkor campus-like landscaped environment and is primarily designed torecognise existing business parks.

    Light Industry zone Includes light manufacturing, production, logistics, storage, transport anddistribution activities.

    Heavy Industry zone Provides for industrial activities that may produce objectionable odour,dust and noise emissions.

    For more detail on the zones, please refer to the Business Centres factsheet on the council website.

    The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan follows a

    centres-based strategy, encouraging more retailand ofce development within centres wherethey can take advantage of the high-qualityamenities, transport links and ready availabilityto customers and staff.

    This greater activity within centres will go onto attract further public and private investmentand more people, with areas becoming morevibrant and secure through increased socialactivity and interaction. This will also supportgreater use of public transport, which in turnwill help to manage demand on Aucklands busy

    roads, where currently so much of the citys

    potential productivity is lost in trafc jams.

    Industrial zoned land provides employmentopportunities and scope for manufacturing,assembly, packaging, wholesale or storage ofproducts or the processing of raw materials.The two industrial zones are Heavy Industry andLight Industry, with the Heavy Industry zonecatering for activities that need to emit higherlevels of noise, dust or odour.

    Overall, the proposed plan reduces the numberof business zones from 44 to 10. These are:

    Projected employment growth in selected industries

    Projected household types in Auckland

    Opportunities created by change

    Auckland is already a successful, growing city.

    While the biggest contributor to its populationincrease is births, it is also boosted by NewZealanders coming from elsewhere in thecountry, Aucklanders returning from overseas orpeople moving here for the opportunities andlifestyle Auckland offers. These people bring theirexperiences, expertise and skills.

    At the same time, Aucklands demographicsare changing and therefore so are its housingneeds. People are living longer, and there is agrowing proportion of people who live aloneor in smaller households. Within a few years,

    households with families are set to be overtaken

    by households with just one or two people (seebelow). This is creating strong demand not onlyfor more homes, but also for a greater choice ofhousing types for different ages and stages of lifeand for different budgets.

    This is a signicant change that the Unitary Planneeds to address and to enable and with thatcome further opportunities for developers tocreate new types of housing, with more peopleliving closer to the key employment zones.This will in turn help create centres that areeconomically stronger, and more fun and vibrant.

    Transforming Auckland Council

    Auckland Council is transforming the way it

    works, with a series of projects focused onhelping it become more business-friendly,improving customer experience and evolving intoa high-performance organisation. This work iscritical to ensuring the council is better-placed todeliver the Auckland Plan and value for moneyfor ratepayers: from quick improvements toprogrammes addressing region-wide issues.

    The focus on becoming more business-friendlyincludes continuous improvements to the council

    website to make it easier, faster and better for

    businesses to interact through digital channels.The council has made it easier to nd buildingand property information and added a businessand economy page. Other improvements includethe key account regulatory service for majordevelopers and the proposed investment centre.

    Stay in touch with the councils progress oncreating a more business-friendly Aucklandthrough thecouncil website.

    Well-serviced centres make businesses more accessible to their customers and employees.
