Auckland Regional Business Land Strategy

The Auckland Region Business Land Strategy is a sub-set of the Regional Growth Strategy. It provides a strategic framework for future business growth in the Auckland region to 2031 that is consistent with the overall direction provided by the Regional Growth Strategy.

The Auckland Regional Growth Strategy was adopted in 1999. It set a vision for the future growth of the Auckland region that promotes a ‘compact city' growth concept. This strategy has changed the ways in which councils throughout the Auckland region plan for the future. However, the strategy focuses primarily on how to manage residential growth. Therefore is was a need for a complementary strategy that focuses on business growth.

The primary purpose of the Auckland Region Business Land Strategy is to:

• align business growth policies with Regional Growth Strategy outcomes
• ensure that future business growth is supported by appropriate transport infrastructure and, in turn, supports transport outcomes indentified in the Regional Land Transport Strategy
• provide policy guidance to the ARC to inform future decisions on applications to move the metropolitan urban limits for business purposes
• provide overarching regional policy direction for the location of future business land.
