Auckland Development Committee Agenda
Agenda Out – and its a large one at that
The Auckland Development Committee (the final name for the Urban/Rural Development Committee) (successor to the Auckland Plan Committee) agenda is now out on the council website. However, at 47MB and at 367 pages long – not including my 100 page contribution (yet) I will embed the agenda below for your viewing pleasure (while not breaking your phone or tablet).
The Auckland Development Agenda – 28th November
As it is noted I am due to give a presentation in the beginning of the piece however the presentation and complementary booklet were not attached to the agenda. To be honest that does not bother me as I released a “revision” of complementary booklet after I sent the original files to Council.
You can view the presentation slides and the complementary book – which gives context to the wider presentation below:
