City Counselling w/ Shane Henderson: November 27, 2025
Description
This week, Aotearoa’s Local government Minister and Resource Management Act reform Minister have announced a major shake-up of local government. Regional councils would be replaced, with mayors convening to form 11 combined territory boards across the motu.
Ongoing conversations about wider public transport circuits to West Auckland beaches are arising once more as Tāmaki heads into the summer months, and popular destinations like Piha remain largely publicly inaccessible.
Last weekend, a fire that is being treated as suspicious broke out at G.A.Y nightclub on Karangahape Rd. The Detective Senior Sergeant Martin Friend confirmed the fire happened in a rubbish bin inside the club bathroom. The flames were quickly extinguished by emergency services early Sunday morning, and nobody was harmed.
Producer Jasmine Gray spoke to Councillor Shane Henderson about these topics.
