A topic of discussion in the hallways at the conference is the creation by the national government of a new Auckland "Super City." This creates a new Auckland City Council combining eight existing cities into a new Auckland City Council on November 1, 2010. More info on the national government action here and the transition work being done in Auckland here. One reason this has been such a topic of conversation has been that the Chair of the conference, Rodger Kerr-Newell, is Chief Executive of a Council that is to eliminated by this consolidation and they are fighting it. See press account of all this here.
