KEY POINTS:
- Send us your thoughts on the high rise brothel proposal
Public comment is being sought on a bid to build a 15-storey building, including a brothel, on the site of the demolished Palace Hotel, in Victoria St.
This follows a decision by Auckland Council's hearings committee to rescind its December decision to have an independent commissioner decide whether the public should have a say.
The deadline for comment to the council is May 4 and a hearing of the resource consent bid could follow about five weeks later.
Earlier, a planning staff report said commercial sex premises were lawful and fell within a range of commercial and entertainment activities permitted under the district plan.
