The Government's agreed to negotiate with Auckland Council on a 10-year deal to boost housing, infrastructure and economic growth in our largest city.
It's also agreed to negotiate similar deals with Western Bay of Plenty, and Central Otago.
Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop says the deal will align local and central government, on up-zoning, rapid transit and innovation precincts.
He says Auckland is New Zealand's main international city and is a big driver of economic growth around the country.
