An Auckland councillor says the Government requiring larger apartments in the neighbourhood of new CRL train stations is in line with other council requests.
The Government's announced Resource Management Bill amendments to allow apartments 10 and 15 storeys high around some central city terminals.
Councillor Richard Hills says it ties into requests to remove medium-density residential housing rules.
"We've also asked if we can downzone or restrict some areas in flooding and hazard zones - this change will legally allow us to do that, but on the proviso that we increase capacity elsewhere."
