Please stop Sale/Demolition Downtown Carpark Building
I am presenting this Petition at Council next week! We are over 3400 signatures now! Please help get it to 5000! Share with everyone. This is the best post for Facebook:
Sale of the #DowntownCarparkBuilding was a decision by Eke Panuku Development Auckland, ratified by the Phil Goff led Auckland Council and then endorsed by the City Vision lead Waitematā Local Board.
This is an important amenity in the Civic Centre of Auckland where ALL ratepayers have a right to access, including those in Remuera.
There is a covenant attached to the sale to provide for bus parking and disabled parking that is NOT sufficient as we rely on this carpark for:
#Convenient - parking in the Viaduct, Commercial Bay, Queen St and Ferry Terminal
#Affordable - it is reasonably priced
#Safety - as it is under cover (for lone females, parents with children and seniors)
#CivicCentre - is open to ALL visitors, especially ratepayers
#Commuters - rely on this to access their work
#InterIslandCommuters - Waiheke and Barrier residents ‘town car’ parking
#FerryCommuters - North Shore, Gulf Harbour and other places car for CBD
#Residents - city apartments without parking (reasonably priced long-term parking)
#ParknRide - when this is the hub for trains, ferries and public transport
#Visitors - day trippers to Waiheke and Barrier
#Tradies, Sales and Service - link to other locations and carry stock or large items
Auckland doesn’t have a connected network of regular, reliable public transport yet, so until such time as we do, it is too soon to sell this Public Facility.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
85% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
15% No. This would be impossible in practice.
