Government will continue to work with Council on the broader transport strategy to ensure it delivers the best results possible for Auckland's transport system. Part of this is work that NZTA is doing with Auckland Transport /Auckland Council to examine and implement a range of options to manage congestion on the total Auckland transport network.
The Government will continue to implement the Housing Accords and the Special Housing Areas Act and progress the other components of the Housing Affordability programme.
It will be important to see Auckland continue to debate the findings from the Consensus Building Group and for a wider discussion on funding mechanisms and how to afford the planned projects. The NIU will continue to take an interest in the Council's work in this area.
