Published 10 months ago
Description
The Government's one step closer to reaching long-term agreements on the future of some of our fastest-growing areas.
It's agreed to negotiate with councils in Auckland, Western Bay of Plenty, and Central Otago, on 10-year deals to boost economic growth, housing and infrastructure.
Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown says "small decisions" should be kept with councils.
Central Otago Mayor Tamah Alley told Ryan Bridge the agreement could cover everything and anything.
She says they’ve put together a list of priorities for the region, and it will be up to them to negotiate with the government and see where their priorities align.
