Auckland Special Housing Areas
The Special Housing Areas (SHA) programme was disestablished in 2017, we have an updated page for affordable housing here.
As a measure to counter the housing shortage, Special Housing Areas (SHAs) was established in 2013 as a way of fast tracking developments that include affordable housing.
Special Housing Areas were designated to provide more housing to meet the considerable demand particularly in the main centres. Key to these areas been designated SHA status is the requirement that developers provide at least 10% of affordable housing within their development.
In Auckland SHAs were established as an interim measure while the Auckland Unitary Plan was being developed. Some SHAs were disestablished in September 2016 and the last were disestablished in May 2017.
