Purpose:
To ensure that the sub-precinct contains income related retained affordable housing to help address Auckland’s housing affordability needs and to ensure retained housing is appropriately managed by Community Housing Providers to achieve ongoing provision and availability where required.

9.1Purchasers in respect of retained affordable housing must be a registered community housing provider or Housing New Zealand Corporation. This rule does not apply to Retirement Villages which are dealt with under rule 10.1 below.
Number of retained affordable dwellings or sites

9.2For new residential developments containing 15 or more dwellings or involving the creation of 15 or more vacant sites, (or a mixture of both with the total cumulative number of dwellings and/or vacant sites being 15 or more), at least 5 percent of the total number of dwellings, or vacant sites, in any development must be retained affordable and meet the following criteria.
(a)the price at which a dwelling may be sold would mean that the monthly mortgage payments for a household receiving the Auckland median household income (as published by Statistics New Zealand for the most recent June quarter before the date the application for resource consent is approved or the date on which all appeals on the resource consent application are finally resolved, whichever is the later) would not exceed 30 percent of the household’s gross monthly income, based on the assumptions that:
(i)the dwelling is purchased with a 10 percent deposit; and
(ii)the balance of the purchase price is financed by a 30-year reducing loan, secured by a single mortgage over the property, at a mortgage interest rate equal to the most recent average two-year fixed rate. The interest rate used is that published most recently by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, in relation to the date application for resource consent is made.
9.3As part of the resource consent application evidence must be provided to demonstrate a community housing provider will purchase the dwellings/sites. Prior to the transfer of the retained affordable dwellings/sites a Council approved statutory declaration must be returned by the consent holder to demonstrate the dwellings/sites are sold at the price point outlined in rule 9.2 above.
Affordable housing in retirement villages

Purpose:
To ensure affordable housing is provided in retirement village complexes.

10.1For retirement village developments (including any redevelopment creating additional units) containing 15 or more units:
(a)at least 10 percent of the total number of units must be relative affordable for three years from the date of purchase. If a dwelling is sold within this timeframe it must continue to meet the required price point set out below in 10.1a(i):
(i)the units classed as relative affordable will be valued at no more than 65 percent of the Auckland region median house price that is published by the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand for the most recent full calendar month preceding the date on which the application for resource consent is approved or the date on which all appeals on the resource consent application are finally resolved, whichever is the later;
(ii)the price point required by 10.1(a)(i) above must include annual charges for maintenance and refurbishment at the retirement village but exclude entry costs, transfer costs, periodical charges, rates, and insurance.
