Wayne Brown is proposing major reforms to Auckland's council controlled organisations

The Auckland mayor has just released his draft budget proposal.

Brown wants to scrap the council's urban regeneration and property management arm Eke Panuku, and return its functions to the council.

Tataki Auckland Unlimited could lose its economic development, events and tourism marketing roles, becoming solely focused on managing stadiums, theatres and other facilities.

The Government will need to approve any major changes to Auckland Transport, but Brown wants the council to take over back office functions in the mean time.
