Nicola Willis: Finance Minister urges Auckland Council to be transparent about Waitākere Ranges management plan - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Finance Minister is calling on Auckland Council to be transparent about its Waitākere Ranges management plan. 

The proposed plan would see Iwi, the Department of Conservation, the Council and local boards on a committee.  

Finance Minister Nicola Willis says she's heard a range of views about whether or not it equates to co-governance. 

She says they should come clean about it to reduce confusion. 

"And I think they should be very clear with their ratepayers about what they're doing - and why they're doing it."

Auckland Councillor Richard Hills says the board doesn't have final say and is only for consultation and suggestions.
