Auckland’s Missing Middle • It’s not just housing; it’s the right sort of housing • Average price of new builds in Auckland in last two years $1M + • Average size over 200m 2 • Previous rules (density restrictions, largely) made it very difficult to build anything else, leaving greenfields & stand alone in fill as almost our only option for new housing • Increasing density is the key to addressing this • Also addresses a number of other issues: • Price / proximity / size trade off for home buyers – homes we like, in places we want to live, at price points we can afford. • Increased density houses more people in areas where we already have infrastructure – cheaper & more efficient for Auckland Inc. • Better transport outcomes, better services • When nurses & teachers can’t afford to buy in Auckland, Auckland has a problem • Density is not a dirty word, but the key to Auckland’s growth • So we must do density well, efficiently, and in the right places.
The Ockham Urban Regeneration Philosophy • Auckland’s urban environment should reflect the beauty of its landscape. • Housing is infrastructure, therefore long term outcomes matter. Our buildings should: • Be beautiful, well-liked by the community and improve the local built environment. • Age gracefully, through the use of durable low maintenance materials that minimise ongoing maintenance costs. • Be designed to minimise noise transfer, to maximise residents’ comfort and reduce on-going costs. • Encourage the development of community amongst the people who call our buildings home.
