Pre-Election Report released

“By 2034 we are projected to see an additional 200,000 Aucklanders joining our diverse community. That is slightly more than Hamilton being added, in only nine years. This rapid growth brings increased demand for services and infrastructure, such as transport, water services, parks and community facilities,” says Auckland Council chief executive Phil Wilson.

“To accommodate this growth, we must confront the challenges our region faces, while ensuring long-term financial sustainability. These include addressing Auckland’s relatively low productivity and lifting the region’s economic growth to support development.”

As part of the build up towards the elections, Auckland Council has released it's pre-election report.

There are six key issues for the incoming council to tackle:
📈addressing productivity and growth challenges
🏗infrastructure investment to support population growth
🏢protecting and enhancing our assets
🌏climate resilience and environmental sustainability
👥community services
💰funding for Aucklanders' needs.

Essential reading for anyone considering standing for council and helpful for voters as they elect their representatives to tacke these challenges (and more).
