The Royal Commission

• Labour government announced a Royal Commission into the governance of Auckland on 30 July 2007.

• In 2009, the report recommended:

“an integrated approach to all Council planning, to be achieved through a hierarchical system of plans, which are few in number and closely linked.”

“Auckland’s success and New Zealand’s success go hand in hand.”

“Defining a clear, positive identity and conveying it consistently and effectively is the best way to differentiate Auckland and to compete with the rest of the World.”

3% p.a. in the last decade to 5% p.a. for

the next 30 years.
