Auckland's city centre has outpaced New Zealand in both GDP and employment growth for the second year in a row.
According to an Infometrics report, GDP in the city centre grew by 9.2 percent in the year to March 2023, reaching $30.4 billion.
Employment was up 7.3 percent in the same period, compared to the equivalent increase of 2.5 percent for the rest of New Zealand.
Patrick Reynolds, the Council's City Centre Advisory Panel deputy chair says this growth is more than a post-pandemic bounce.
"There's been a heap of investment - in both private investment and especially streetscape renewals and upgrades and the shift away from just black tarmacs of cars."
