Auckland Council’s Chief Executive, Phil Wilson, has opened an additional staff consultation to explore a consolidated approach to the Council’s acquisition, leasing and disposal of property.
The proposal includes options to create a property function within Auckland Council through a new property department, reporting to a new general manager role.
Mr Wilson (pictured) says the additional consultation is a tangible example of why staff feedback through a consultation process is important.
“We received 340 submissions across the group, 65 of which were team submissions, during our initial consultation period,” said Mr Wilson.
“This is a very real example that our staff are committed to finding the best way to meet the evolving needs of Aucklanders, as well as the big challenges of the future.”
Mr Wilson said property is recognised by Auckland Council as a critical enabler in providing Council services. The Auckland Council Group has a significant and diverse portfolio which includes nearly $70 billion of property.
Staff at Auckland Council and Eke Panuku Development Auckland have been asked to provide their feedback on the additional proposal, which follows decisions made by the council’s Governing Body on 12 December 2024 on the Mayor’s proposed CCO reform.
