Auckland's Mayor has delivered a more than half a million dollar boost to safety in the central city

The 570 thousand dollar investment will go towards projects like additional CCTV operators, a safety coordinator for the CBD and investment in outreach to help people secure housing.

There will also be three pilot safety coordination hubs at Queens Wharf, High Street and Day Street.

These will act as bases for patrolling teams - including Community Patrols, Maori, Pacific and community wardens and ethnic patrol groups.

Mayor Wayne Brown says a combined approach addresses drivers of city unrest.
