For City Counselling this week, Sofia speak to Councillor Shane Henderson about the Ports of Auckland using the Fast-track Bill to convert the Captain Cook and Marsden wharves into a waterfront attraction and Council’s new roaming dog squad. 

She also speaks to University of Auckland Law Professor, Mark Henaghan, about the Family Proceedings Amendment Bill passing its third reading yesterday.

Ports of Auckland has said the Fast-track Approvals Bill is the only way to keep its promise to Auckland Council regarding its deal to sell the Captain Cook and Marsden wharves back to Council to be converted into a waterfront attraction.

Ports of Auckland has committed to exiting Cook and Marsden in the period two to five years, saying the Fast-track would allow them to ‘honour that commitment to the city’. 

The Fast-track Approvals Bill, since its introduction, has been subject to much criticism, with concerns surrounding its impact on the environment and a lack of public consultation. 

Additionally, earlier this month Auckland Council introduced a new roaming dog squad to address the increase in dog attacks and roaming incidents in Auckland over the past year. 

Sofia spoke to Councillor Shane Henderson about both of these topics.
