Major gear changes for Auckland's transport

From Checkpoint, 4:09 pm on 5 September 2025

There is a major gear change in Auckland around transport. Local council boards will have new powers and will make decisions on local and so called collector roads; the ones that feed into bigger arterial routes. The 21 boards will be able to set speed limits, road closures for events, parking and creating cycleways. Director of the Greater Auckland transport advocacy website, Matt Lowrie spoke to Lisa Owen.
