Going for Housing Growth: Providing for urban development in the new resource management system

To avoid unnecessary future debate about what constitutes a walkable catchment (and therefore where intensification is required), we’re proposing minimum intensification catchment sizes around city and metropolitan centre zones (or equivalent zones in the new resource management system), rapid transit stops and key transit corridors. These distances would be ‘as walked.’

We’re considering two options for minimum catchment sizes.

1. Option 1:
   1. 1,200 metres from the edge of city centre zones (or equivalent)
   2. 800 metres from the edge of metropolitan centre zones (or equivalent) and rapid transit stops
   3. 400 metres from the edge of the road reserve of key transit corridors
2. Option 2:
   1. 1,500 metres from the edge of city centre zones (or equivalent)
   2. 1,200 metres from the edge of metropolitan centre zones (or equivalent) and rapid transit stops
   3. 600 metres from the edge of the road reserve of key transit corridors
