SUBMISSION TO THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT 2002 Amendment BILL
“This submission argues that the proposal to  define ‘Core Services’ in the Local Government Amendment Bill removes incentives for innovative and collaborative local government practice. A key outcome could be for the Auckland Council to abandon its commitment to economic development and to a Social Policy Forum in Auckland. Value for money for ratepayers and taxpayers is best achieved through partnership and integrated service delivery”.
