Heather du Plessis-Allan DriveKendyl Smith: Albert-Eden Local Board Chair voices disapproval with the Government's plan to build taller apartments in Auckland suburbs
Not everyone's a fan of Government's efforts to build taller in central Auckland suburbs.
The Government is requiring the council to legislate for apartments at least 15 storeys high around the Mount Eden, Kingsland, and Morningside Stations.
It will be 10 storeys near the Mount Albert and Baldwin Avenue terminals.
Albert-Eden Local Board Chair, Kendyl Smith, says this feels rushed, and hasn't included any consultation with residents.
"So to be told overnight that you might have a 15-storey block beside you is very unpalatable."
