Devonport residents oppose eight-storey apartment and hotel block
An eight-storey mixed-use development proposed for Devonport faces community opposition over heritage and view impacts.
A developer has lodged a fast-track application for an apartment and hotel block in Auckland's Devonport neighbourhood. Local residents are concerned the building will obstruct views and overshadow heritage buildings in the area. Residents plan to use helium balloons to visually demonstrate the proposed structure's height during the consultation process.
