Extending Grater Auckland

If you live in Auckland, You might have noticed that there are a lot of apartments coming up around the suburbs.This is mostly because of the unitary plan. Auckland council a basically making more apartments (not houses) because they are trying to lower the cost of houses. And I think it's working very well.

But it's not just happening in local areas. The unitary plan also says that they are also building new suburbs in rural areas. So in 30 years, places like Dairy flat,Pokeno and even Kumeu will be all urbanised and will be capable of holding the young generation of Auckland.Altogether, Around 4500 houses are being created.

Obviously if these plans do go ahead (which they are most likely too) they will need good transport links. For example, I think a smart option for Northwest Auckland would be too reclaim the track between Swanson and Waimuku. But currently,Auckland Transport are investigating that.For the north of Auckland, one thing that is happening is Ara tuhuno, The extension of the northern motorway. to Wellsford. This is definitely happening because it is one of New Zealand's road of national significance. So that is very good.
