Since Saturday 23 July, Auckland Council staff have been reviewing the Independent Hearings Panel's recommendations on the proposed Auckland Unitary Plan so they can form an understanding of the changes that have been recommended.

Penny Pirrit, Director of Regulatory Services, and John Duguid, General Manager Plans and Places, provide an overview.
