Local Government (Auckland Council) (Transport Governance) Amendment Bill
This bill changes how transport is run in Auckland. It replaces Auckland Transport (the old organisation) with a new setup. A new joint committee — made up of people chosen by the government and Auckland's mayor — will create a 30-year transport plan. A renamed organisation (the transport CCO) will run public transport. Local boards (the smaller elected groups in different parts of Auckland) get more say over local roads. Auckland Council takes back control of roads from Auckland Transport.
