Somewhere in the local government laws there should be a clause which does not allow this kind of deal.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024440694895271805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-55470412367933249062011-02-11T15:06:38.818+13:002011-02-11T15:06:38.818+13:00I'm not sure that I can reveal that informatio...I'm not sure that I can reveal that information even, but I note that Rudman in a column of Dec 20th in NZ Herald says "...Auckland City had done a deal with Viaduct Harbour Holdings, a big private landowner in the area..." so read into that what you will.Christopher Dempseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-88643310507699975542011-02-10T19:31:01.943+13:002011-02-10T19:31:01.943+13:00May we learn the identity of the landowner?May we learn the identity of the landowner?Stephen Stratfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426799380228308536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-52247192115102075182011-02-10T19:28:48.205+13:002011-02-10T19:28:48.205+13:00Speaking as a member of the Waitemata Local Board ...Speaking as a member of the Waitemata Local Board I will point out the following;<br /><br />We were gagged from discussing the issue of heritage buildings in Wynard Wharf area. However, it is not fair to suggest that Mayor Len Brown is"...uninterested in open government". <br /><br />I suspect Mr Brown would only be too willing to discuss this matter publicly, but he, nor us, can, as a result of rather dubious behaviour by officers of the old Auckland City Council, and dubious behaviour of the landowner in the area. This offensive behaviour means that you, and the residents of Auckland are denied knowing about the deal between officers and the landowner, and secondly that we, elected representatives, can't talk about it.<br /><br />At least that is how it appears, but of course we don't know for sure, because we can't talk about it, Mayor Brown included.Christopher Dempseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-65752503750233933732011-02-10T18:12:32.862+13:002011-02-10T18:12:32.862+13:00Do not spring Meryl Streep on me again without a W...Do not spring Meryl Streep on me again without a WARNING.
