Call for public to support City’s World Heritage campaign

Auckland City Council is continuing to push for Auckland’s volcanic field to be nominated as a World Heritage site.

City officers are currently working with the Auckland Regional Council to lodge a submission with the Department of Conservation before the deadline of 31 March.

“We want to strongly encourage public support for our submission and have set up a dedicated email address to capture every comment,” says Councillor Christine Caughey, Chair of the Environment, Heritage and Urban Form Committee.

People can email their messages to volcanic.cones@aucklandcity.govt.nz or post comments to Community Planning, Auckland City, Private Bag 92516, Wellesley Street, Auckland.

All comments must be received before 31 March.
