A forward-looking conversation with National’s Deputy Leader Hon Nicola Willis and Labour’s Deputy Leader Hon Carmel Sepuloni on what Auckland needs from the next term of government to lift economic performance and deliver better outcomes for the city.

Grounded in the Auckland Deal and the Committee for Auckland’s Auckland Action Agenda, the discussion will explore how the next government can work with Auckland to turn the city’s strengths into better outcomes - and address the priorities the Committee has identified for the next term, including our international gateway, innovation and talent, the city centre, transport connections and the City Rail Link, environmental resilience, housing and infrastructure, and more widely shared growth and opportunity.

The focus will be practical: where should Auckland and central government work differently, what should the Auckland Deal enable, and what would meaningful progress over the next term look like if your party leads the next government?
