Iwi to have say in wharf future
Auckland Mayor Len Brown says he will involve iwi in discussions about the future of the Port of Auckland.
Mr Brown is under fire from some councillors and the community about his response to the port company’s plans to extend Bledisloe Wharf to take larger ships and store more containers.
He says he’s talking with the company about delaying the start of the work while a study is done of long term options for the port.
" Absolutely we are bringing together a group which will include iwi that will work toward the future of determining the port sustainablility, the port footprint, all those sorts of issues. So really wanting to get this matter within a much better framework and forum for discussion " says Len Brown
