The theory is that the “threat” of the Auckland super-city needs a counterweight in Wellington, and that the only solution is some kind of regional amalgamation. However the usual lack of enthusiasm from the locals is noted – with apparently no-one other than Fran Wilde and Colin James in favour of the idea. regional-council supercity government media Wed, 04 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=41515 Wellington Scoop 2012-01-04T00:00:00Z The residents fight back http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=23561 A conference of residents’ associations at Parliament on Saturday decided to set up a citizens’ forum – as a direct response to the “closed shop” approach of the Wellington Mayoral Forum’s review of governance in the region. supercity government media Sun, 11 Apr 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=23561 Wellington Scoop 2010-04-11T00:00:00Z We’re starting to plan our super city, as Aucklanders are dismayed by their’s http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=22018 At the same time as Wellington’s mayors and their advisors are meeting to discuss the need for a super-city in this region, the concerns from Aucklanders about Auckland’s super-city arrangements are getting louder and louder. supercity government media Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=22018 Wellington Scoop 2010-03-09T00:00:00Z Democracy, be very afraid: the argument against “supercity Wellington” http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=3647 Some of our local civic leaders have, not surprisingly, jumped on the ‘Supercity Auckland’ bandwagon.
