A Run Down in What to Expect from September 30
I attended the media briefing in regards to the Unitary Plan and The Auckland Design Manual which come out Monday – September 30th.
At the moment I am writing up my blog post from the briefing will have it up either tomorrow or Saturday morning.
As a teaser you can check the covers to some documents I received from the briefing today.
Update: I now have Scribd working – thus I can embed the “teaser” covers for you π

Auckland: 2013 – YOUR CITY, YOUR CALL

Come on David this is the 21st century. Citizen journalism is alive and well in Auckland. Ben Ross and Auckland Transport Blog provide much better coverage of council activities than the NZ Herald or any of the local freebies do.
Thanks Luke.
Both Matt and I were there at the briefing today and will be drawing up our own respective posts on the Unitary Plan and Auckland Design Manual over the next few days. Looking back at my notebook there is plenty of material there
Amen to Auckland Transport blog – not so Ben, lacks consistency. NZ Herald is shadow of its former self. Bring back Gavin Ellis!
Ben has been fantastic at overlooking the grandstanding of the likes of yourself, Brewer, Palino etc and has detailed actual facts from the DUP process. That is more than most people in council or the media have done, preferring instead to sensationalise and spout populist ideas without actual details.
I’d like to see your media credentials and qualifications.
Credentials mean nothing. The information that comes from a commentator is more meaningful.
