achievements and highlights of the Panel’s work over the past 2 years.

disappointed that it appears that the provision for accessible housing, as
recommended in the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan, has been removed by the

proportion of people looking for accessible housing (Refer to Residential
Zones, topics 059-063, page 4 – 1.2 Summary of the Panel’s recommended
changes to the proposed Auckland Unitary Plan from point 1.2.xiii).
