Planning for these four future urban areas in Auckland is at the very beginning of a lengthy, iterative process. A widespread stakeholder and public consultation will be held in Feb-March 2016 to seek early feedback on the aspirations, issues and ideas being proposed for each network plan. The team will then come back to the public in May 2016 to seek feedback on the short listed ideas.

The results of this consultation will be fed into a wider technical, social, cultural and engineering analysis process to help develop a recommended transport network plan for each area by mid-2016.
Although recommended transport network plans will be decided upon at this time, this does not mean they will be set in stone. The next step in the transport planning process is to identify which projects need to be further developed, and to apply for funding to investigate them further.
Further opportunities for consultation will happen as projects start to develop and go through the consents process over the next few decades. This is just the start of the journey to plan for Auckland’s future communities.
