Manukau: The Second CBD of Auckland Presentation
All Complete and Ready to Go
Finally my presentation to the Auckland Plan Committee (May 14) is ready to go. I have sent both the Powerpoint presentation and the 41 page supplementary booklet to Council to be attached with the Agenda (which at the moment is embedded below) and can be seen below.
The Powerpoint Presentation (9-slides) which I will be speaking from can be seen here:
The Supplementary Booklet (41 pages) for your in-depth reading can be found here:
The presentation will be summarising three points:
- Is Auckland a Megaopolis?
- Does Auckland in fact have Three Metropolitan Areas?
- Can Auckland support two (if not three) CBD’s?
Information used in the booklet will also go into my feedback for the Unitary Plan by May 31
I will also be attending the Generation Zero Unitary Plan forum event on Tuesday evening after the presentation to mix and mingle and discuss well – Unitary Plan
All go on Tuesday

THAT Bridge a Reality
Err-What
I got told yesterday by the Deputy Mayor that the Karaka-Weymouth Bridge was removed from the Unitary Plan draft maps and even have the PDF to prove it:

Finally got them sent through from the Deputy Mayor’s Office but, I now have the map of the Southern RUB – with no bridge. There is even a note on page two of the map for your reading:
