The Government's one step closer to reaching long-term agreements on the future of some of our fastest-growing areas. 

It's agreed to negotiate with councils in Auckland, Western Bay of Plenty, and Central Otago, on 10-year deals to boost economic growth, housing and infrastructure. 

Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown says "small decisions" should be kept with councils.

She says they’ve put together a list of priorities for the region, and it will be up to them to negotiate with the government and see where their priorities align.
