Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown wants to “dethrone” Auckland Transport (AT) by stripping its mostly unelected board members of powers and putting elected representatives in full control.
The proposal is part of the biggest shake-up of the council-controlled organisations (CCOs) since the Super City was formed in 2010, and includes plans to abolish the council’s development agency, Eke Panuku Auckland, and its events and economic development agency Tātaki Auckland Unlimited.
Brown outlined his intentions for CCO reform in an exclusive statement to the Herald today.
