A supercity council is planned in Auckland... The Auckland City Council proposes to unveil a dramatic plan and template for a single super-city with a 26 member council and an elected lord mayor. Under this plan the Auckland region would lose 90% of its 264 elected local politicians representing seven terrritorial councils and the Auckland Regional Council, it was reported recently. The plan will be approved or amended for the council's to the Royal commission of Enquiry on Auckland governance. Submissions will close in less than a month,on April 22 2008. If this plan is successful in being approved, and put into operation there would be a saving of millions of dollars per year. The downside could be a dramatic redundancy in manpower. Contributor's Note A dramatic proposal in the local political history of New Zealand. If successful could be considered by other regions in New Zealand as a governance template, such as the Wellington region.
