I believe Auckland is sleepwalking its way into an economic death spiral. There appears to be no reliable source of cost control within council. Once upon a time city councils prided themselves on efficiently lowering costs and supplying better services. I doubt that it is only my opinion that Auckland Council has become a large unwieldy beast that has no ability to self-audit or to become what the ratepayers need.
My experience as a quantity surveyor added to my ability to use software to do data analytics will help me to uncover the real costs of local governance. I can see gaps in the current 10 year plan that need addressing. Councils have a record of bringing projects in over budget. I believe I can analyse the projected costs of any new project to determine if they are realistic.
