The Government is confirming it is making changes to Auckland's housing intensification plan. 

It has been considering watering down controversial planning rules allowing two million homes to be built over the coming decades.  

Chris Bishop says that target is nothing more than a modelling number on a spread sheet, but he will be changing it over the coming month.  

He told Mike Hosking most Aucklanders seem to agree there needs to be more housing in the CBD and along transit routes.  

Bishop says the plan will allow that while restricting up-zoning in suburban areas.
