faces opposition
The first big apartment blocks planned for a new Auckland suburb rising beside Mt Albert are closer to gaining building approval but are also facing opposition from the local council board.
Thousands of homes are set to be built on about 40ha in the suburb, including land formerly part of Unitec’s Mt Albert Campus, which has since been transferred to Maori ownership.
The six blocks currently seeking building approval include about 500 new apartments along Carrington Rd, with space for a new supermarket and 20 stores that could become home to cafes, restaurants and clothes shops.
