    Auckland's Mayor and the Transport Minister have released a transport plan for the region - including planning to move the Port


    Mayor Wayne Brown and Minister David Parker released the plan for 2024 - 27 today.

    Priorities include, replacing the Auckland Regional Fuel Tax with time of use charging; dynamic bus lanes on key arterial routes; and reducing traffic-management related costs.

    They'll also plan for the Port of Auckland to consolidate and move from its current location - by progressing planning work on projects, that allow for increased rail freight usage.

    Brown says relocation will take decades to complete, the pair agreed consolidation should start within three years.
