Auckland City Council has put together its draft 10-year plan with a commitment to balance affordable progress with developing the city.
We want to know what you think about our plans to take Auckland city forward over the next 10 years.
The next 10 years will see $3.5 billion of investment in capital projects, including our biggest single-year expenditure on capital projects - $516 million in 2009/2010 - while keeping the average rates increase
no higher than the level of council's rate of inflation.
We have made some changes to the last 10-year plan which forecasted rates increases higher than the council's rate of inflation. We have made organisational efficiencies and changed the progress or scope of some of our capital projects. We have taken into account the difficult economic situation and the impact that this is having on households and businesses.

The Royal Commission on Auckland Governance, established in 2007, released its report to central government on 25 March 2009.
The government announced their decisions on 7 April. It is intended that the new structure of one unitary Auckland Council, with one mayor and approximately 20 to 30 local boards across the region as the second tier of governance, will be in place for the 2010 local government elections.
Throughout the transition period, we will continue our day to day services, delivering projects and services to ratepayers across the city. This includes putting together our 10-year plan.
