A clear message from the Government: New Zealand can't succeed if Auckland doesn't succeed.
The Government's agreed to negotiate with Auckland Council on a 10-year deal to boost housing, infrastructure, and economic growth in our largest city.
It's also agreed to negotiate similar deals with Western Bay of Plenty and Central Otago.
Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking the deal will align local and central government on up-zoning, rapid transit, and innovation precincts.
He says Auckland is New Zealand's main international city and is a big driver of economic growth around the country.
