Seeking your
feedback
Ports of Auckland recently published its port development
proposals for public consideration.
Feedback received will be sent to Auckland Council and will be
influential in their Unitary Planning process. Auckland's port is a
national strategic asset, facilitating over $12.5 billion in trade
and 187,000 jobs. With Auckland's predicted population growth, it's
role will become even more important, given that it is on the
doorstep of our country's largest market, so it is vitally important
that its growth is properly planned for.
You can read the development proposal and other background
material on our website
here.
The proposal document contains a short survey at the end, which
we would appreciate and encourage you to complete and forward to
others in your organisation.
