Auckland councillors have given mayor Wayne Brown's Long Term Plan the green light.
It includes a $50 per week cap for public transport fares and creating an Auckland Future Fund with the Council's remaining airport shares.
Brown says there was a lot of discussion on the airport shares.
"The public we consulted were all very keen to put the airport shares into a growth fund. But some of my councillors were just kind of emotionally attached to them."
The plan will go to the full governing body in June to be rubber-stamped.
