'I didn't realise': Auckland Councillor apologises for Waitākere Ranges vote

An Auckland Councillor is apologising for voting to progress a joint-management approach for the Waitākere Ranges. 

The proposal allows Te Kawerau a Maki to be represented on the joint iwi, Crown and Council board.

Waitākere Ward Councillor Ken Turner says he doesn't support it - but voted for it so it would go to public consultation.

He says he was under the false impression more diverse options would be included. 

"They were in the executive summary, they were in the analysis and advice - and I did not realise they were not in the resolution until two months later."
