The project will:
- help to achieve the purpose of the Act
- have positive effects on social well-being by providing:
- additional housing supply, including terraced housing (which has the potential to be a more affordable housing option at a time when house prices are rapidly escalating in the Auckland region)
- employment opportunities during construction
- recreational space
- increase housing supply through the construction of approximately 59 residential units
- provide approximately 96 direct full-time equivalent jobs per year over a 2-year construction period
- likely progress faster than would otherwise be the case under the Resource Management Act 1991 standard processes.
