Have your say on the Pukekohe Masterplan

The Team from Auckland Council

Last month we asked visitors to Pukekohe’s town centre how far people were willing to walk from their car to the places they wanted to visit.

> One fifth (20%) were fine walking 10-15 mins (or longer!)
> Another fifth (18%) were happy with a walk up to 10 mins.
> Nearly half (45%) indicated they’d be ok walking 2-5 mins.
> Just 15% preferred a short walk of up to 2 mins.
> Only 2% wanted a park right outside their store.

Our masterplan caters for everyone. Take a look at it here

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
