City Counselling w/ Shane Henderson: 26th March, 2026

Last week saw public transport usage in Auckland reach a 7 year high, on account of high fuel prices across the country. While high usage bodes well for public transport, the network is facing difficulties around overcrowding. In addition, Auckland Transport is pushing for central government support to lower fares, which ministers have rejected. 

Auckland Council has also conducted a review into its resource management consenting processes, and found multiple spots for improvement.

And central government has announced dog control law reforms, which Auckland Council has welcomed given its extensive existing operations in animal control.

To discuss each of these issues, News Director Castor spoke to Councillor Shane Henderson.
