Quick update on Auckland City Council LGOIMA status.
Any progress with Auckland City outside the Office of the Ombudsmen complaints process seems to be thwarted due to the “Supercity” excuse: major decisions, such as on GIS data licensing and pricing, are on hold until the new city structure is in place by the end of 2010.
Practically speaking, that means major decisions are on hold until mid 2011, after the newly appointed staff settle into their restructured roles.
