9.1. NOTICE OF MOTION - COUNCIL CONTROLLED ORGANISATION AND AUCKLAND'S TRANSPORT STRUCTURE
Board Member Brochner provided a written authorisation via email to allow
Councillor Northey to move the Notice of Motion.
[ATTACHMENT 9.1A]
Moved: Northey/ Graham
That the Maungakiekie Community Board opposes the handling of
transport for the new Auckland Council by a Council Controlled Organisation
(CCO) instead of by a division of council for the following reasons:
- It will lead to a lack of integration of transport issues with other
functions of council.
- It will remove the ability of local boards, and the people they
represent, to have input into decisions about local roads.
- There is no planned link with rail and motorways services, and
therefore no ability for true co-ordination of Auckland's transport issues.
