MAYOR SAYS “THANK YOU, PAPAKURA” Submissions on the second Auckland Supercity bill have now closed. Papakura Mayor Calum Penrose says he pleased at the support shown by the community in making submissions that support keeping democracy local. “So many people who value “our Papakura” have made submissions, we have had an excellent response. Now we can only wait and make our case at the hearings. ” The Bill sets up the structure of the new Council and establishes its functions, powers, duties and membership. It sets out the power of the Local Government Commission to determine the names and boundaries of the wards and local boards, the number of local boards and number of members. It also establishes the powers of the new Transition Agency to reorganise water services for the region and carves up Franklin District between the Auckland Supercity and the Waikato.
