Council to Consult Public on Auckland International Airport Proposal
Manukau City Council intends to consult with Manukau residents on the Dubai Aeronautic Enterprises (DAE) proposal for Auckland International Airport and any other options that might eventuate as a result of current discussions.
Council staff members are evaluating the DAE proposal, and will evaluate any other proposals that might be put forward, and an analysis of the options will go to the council in August. A Statement of Proposal will be drawn up and adopted at the end of August, with the public invited to make submissions from mid-September.
With the local authority elections in October, the new council will hear and consider the submissions and make a decision in early November, before the Auckland International Airport Ltd shareholder meeting in November.
