The Government's instructed Auckland Council to allow apartments at least 15 storeys high near key City Rail Link train stations.  

Density requirements around the Mt Albert and Baldwin Ave stations require at least 10-storey apartments, while buildings around the Maungawhau, Kingsland, and Morningside rail terminals will be allowed to reach at least 15 storeys. 

Hamish Firth, Director of Mt Hobson Group, told Kerre Woodham these sites won’t be filled up within a week or two – it might take 15, 20, even thirty years. 

He says it’s the sort of planning we need around those areas to ensure the areas and communities are vibrant and happening.
