Andy Baker: Franklin Ward Councillor on Auckland housing intensification
About this episode
An Auckland City Counsellor says the Government's plans for the CBD won't be clear for a while.
It's reducing the proposed homes allowed in the Supercity from 2 million to 1.6 million.
The revision to new density rules will focus more on builds in the central city and around key transit hubs, than in suburban areas.
Franklin Ward Councillor Andy Baker told Ryan Bridge he doesn't think it'll please everybody and isn't the silver bullet some people have been asking for.
