Debate continues on housing areas tranche 4
Auckland Council’s Auckland development committee began discussing the fourth tranche of special housing areas in confidential meeting late this morning, stopped for a late lunch and has a traffic jam of meetings to contend with this afternoon.
The budget committee is scheduled to meet at 2.30pm, with business including a refinement of local board funding policy, followed by a governing body meeting to rectify an error in the process to set the rates.
The committee recommendation on the special housing areas will remain confidential through the governing body meeting on 28 August and on until the housing minister releases a decision on the council recommendation.
