TOWN PLANNING IN N.Z.

AUCKLAND ARCHITECT’S VIEWS “The Press” Special Service AUCKLAND, November. 30. It was nothing short of tragedy that Auckland’s proposed green belt scheme appeared to be doomed, said Mr Clifford Sanderson, chairman of the Auckland district branch of the New Zealand Institute of Architects, at the branch's annual general meeting in the Auckland Club. “Planning will just not function if it places no restriction on anybody,” he said. “This appears to be the chief failing in the proposed amendments to the Town Planning Act. which seem to be trying to achieve planning results without offending anybody. “I think we are tending to become a backward country in respect to town planning. We continue, in our complacency, to commit grave errors which most countries have overcome only after spending millions of pounds. “I bfelieve town planning is sufficiently important for the Government to establish a Ministry of town and country planning,” he said. “This department should be in the charge of a highly qualified director of town planning, who would exercise control over the whole of the country. It should be started right away.”
