Auckland Council is seeking public feedback on the Mayor’s proposed annual budget for 2023/24. Share your views.
Dear Auckland Council, I am writing to provide feedback on the Annual Budget 2023/24. I support the Mayor’s proposal to keep rate increases below inflation by selling shares in Auckland International Airport and reducing wasteful spending by the Council Group. Further, I urge elected members to undertake the following measures: 1. Instruct Auckland Transport to find $50 million of savings from its corporate office, without increasing fares or reducing public transport services. 2. Suspend Auckland Unlimited’s activities in economic development and visitor attraction for the 2023/24 financial year. 3. Disband the urban regeneration arm of Panuku and transfer responsibility of outstanding projects to the Auckland Council parent. 4. Instruct the Chief Executive of Auckland Council to place a ‘hiring freeze’ on all non-essential roles within the Auckland Council parent until there has been an independent review of concerns about overstaffing and inflated salaries of management. Yours sincerely,
Thank you! Your submission has been received!
