Have your say on Auckland

Have your say on Auckland

The Auckland Council is looking to the future and wants your input to take the super city further for the next 30 years.

“Our Mayor Len Brown and the Auckland Council are focused on turning Auckland into the world's most livable city,” said Jeet Suchdev of the Auckland Council’s Ethnic People’s Advisory Panel.

“Shaping Auckland's future is an opportunity we can all grasp.

“On behalf of the Auckland Council Ethnic People’s Advisory Panel, I would like to invite you to attend one of the two afternoon forums in the next two weeks on the Auckland Plan,” Suchdev said.

The document "Auckland Unleashed" is the start of the discussion on what the Auckland plan should say, Suchdev said.

“Your involvement is critical, and your input is vital to help the City to get the key strategies right for the future of our city.”
