Council restructuring, fortnightly rubbish collection proposal, and what the National Land Transport Programme means for Auckland w/ Cr Shane Henderson: 5th September, 2024

Earlier this week, in response to councillor feedback, Mayor Wayne Brown announced a new committee structure for Auckland Council and made changes to the Auckland Transport Board.

This restructuring intends to streamline decision-making and put Council’s focus on delivering the new Long-term Plan. 

Additionally, the decision on a proposal to move rubbish bin collection to a fortnightly service could be decided next month. 

The proposal is part of Council’s Waste Management and Minimisation Plan to reduce waste and carbon emissions.

Producer Sofia asked Councillor Shane Henderson about both of these topics as well as what the newly announced National Land Transport Programme means for Auckland.
