The government has recently announced the specifics of the ‘shakeup’ of Auckland Transport.

This follows the plan, which was first announced in December last year, to introduce new legislation that would strip Auckland Transport of a lot of the entity’s power.

The changes will result in Auckland Council overseeing major decisions regarding transport, that will be split between the major, 20 councillors, and local boards.

As well as this, a new Auckland Regional Transport committee will be established, that will include councillors, government appointee’s, and an independent chair, to work on a 30-year transportation plan.

The bill is set to have its first reading next month, and is expected to pass into law by March next year.

For City Counselling this week, News and Editorial Director, Joel, spoke to Councillor Julie Fairey about this topic.

Producer Jasmine spoke to Dr. Nona Taute about the tool he’s developed through his PhD research to centre mātauranga Māori and empower iwi decision-making in geothermal engineering in Aotearoa. 

Zesty, springy music from Emma Gleason today, with new stuff from Pickle Darling, old stuff from the 1500s (yes, really) and plenty of other good vibes.

Thanks to The Tuning Fork.

Mātauranga Māori is empowered as a central focus of a new decision-making framework for geothermal engineering projects developed by recent PhD graduate, Dr. Nona Taute. 

The tool bridges the technical considerations of engineers with iwi perspectives and priorities. 

Taute’s framework mediates perspectives by combining cultural, social, environmental, and economic sustainability indicators to measure and communicate the mauri (the life force and viability) of geothermal engineering initiatives in Aotearoa.
