Council Response

The Council doesn’t hold anything specific to the development of a “Super
City”. However, the concept of a unitary authority was discussed in
context of the Council’s submission on the Future for Local Government
submission. We have included this information to assist.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
