An independent panel has approved subdividing Unitec's former campus site in
Auckland's Mt Albert into "seven megalots", paving the way for thousands of
new homes as part of one of the country's biggest developments.


Under fast-track legislation, the Housing and Urban Development Ministry
applied for resource consent to subdivide existing lots into seven new
"megalots" for development and five potential open space lots.


The Carrington residential development was expected to take around 15 years
to complete and supports at least 3000 new homes in the Central Auckland
suburb.


As one of the country's largest developments, the project covers nearly 40
hectares of land next to Unitec's remaining campus buildings nearby.

While the subdivision application was made by the Government, the proposed
megalots will eventually be transferred to Waiohua-Tamaki, Marutuahu and
Ngati Whatua ropu.


The development is led by the three Auckland ropu and facilitated by the
Crown.


No physical works are enabled by the subdivision resource consent.
