a new site for the kindergarten
Except they're building a Day Care not a Kindegarden, but that's a whole other story...

Infrastructure doesn't appear to have been considered at all in Unitary Plan, it's a just in time approach

Have you had a look at the new map for Coxs Bay? All MHU in the cul de sacs behind Countdown, mad.

Does the rezoning of the schools as residential mean they need to conform to the residential development controls for built form?
I understand the current zoning of schools means they can pretty much do what they like in the built form (subject to budget constraints)

HNZ did not request they matched surrounding properties, they requested spot rezoning of individual properties.
As Russell says above,
anomalous and inappropriate
, not to mention against planning best practice.
There is no justification for schools in Central Auckland that have recently had ~100 million$ in new building work completed and are bursting at the seams to be rezoned as residential.

They're increasing the value of the land so they can sell them. Do you seriously think the National Government will build on them and increase their housing stock?
Similar to the way the Ministry of Education has had the special zone for schools removed in the Unitary Plan and schools have been rezoned residential so they can be sold.

Interestingly, Housing New Zealand have filed a legal submission to the Hearing Panel, arguing that many of the out of scope changes are in fact in scope of HNZ's cynical submission requesting individual HNZ properties are upzoned.
They may be nervous that the IHP will throw out the Out of Scope changes and HNZ's upzone requests along with it.

More sunlight on the process

No, but I would have expected the Notified plan to bear some resemblance to the final version..

Agree, as I said above, if the new maps had associated explanatory notes explaining why certain properties were upzoned I think they would be better accepted.
As far as I know there is nothing, which makes you wonder how they decided what to upzone
