submissions to Royal Commission on Auckland
Governance Auckland Regional Council has
welcomed the Royal Commission of Inquiry discussion document
on Auckland’s Governance and is encouraging the regional
community to read it and make a submission. Chairman
Michael Lee says it’s important that the Royal Commission
hears from a wide range of individuals and agencies across
the region to ensure a balanced decision making
process. “This is an opportunity for ordinary ratepayers
to have their say on how local and regional government
operate and to participate in a process that could shape the
region now and for years for come,” he says. “My hope
is the Royal Commission will recommend changes that
measurably improve local government in our region, are cost
effective, efficient and workable. “The Royal Commission
has designed two very user-friendly submission forms – a
short and a long version – that should make it easy for
the public to comment,” he said. Mr Lee says he will be
working closely with fellow elected regional representatives
to prepare a submission to the commission Mr Lee
encourages Aucklanders interested in the Royal Commission of
Inquiry on Auckland’s Governance to visit the council’s
website and/or contact their regional council representative
with any questions and make a
submission. ENDS
