Royal Commission for Auckland Governance
The Committee for Auckland is enthusiastic about the Royal Commission for Auckland Governance and its potential to make a significant impact on the future of our city-region by addressing the governance issues that have consistently emerged as hand-brakes on Auckland's progress.
The Committee for Auckland's approach has been one of trying to assist the Commission as much as possible by providing material that is evidence-based and that illustrates impediments to progress (but also the factors contributing to successful progress where this has occurred) in areas that are critical to the success of Auckland. We have therefore contributed a main submission supported by five case studies around issues that are vital to the future of our city, such as waterfront transformation and the development of an international exhibition convention centre. The Committee for Auckland has vigorously encouraged others to share their experiences with the Commission, and as part of this action we have also facilitated specialist input from our members in the tertiary education sector and the Future Auckland Leaders' group, both of which are submitted under the Committee for Auckland banner.
The Committee for Auckland hopes that you will find our over-arching submission, the five case studies and the additional submissions from key sectors illuminating and constructive in their approach. We trust that along with the many other submissions from those concerned with creating a truly successful globally competitive city, that they will enable the Commission to take the bold steps necessary for greater Auckland's future.
