A group of prominent Auckland figures have published an open letter urging councillors not to proceed with the sale of a 35-year-lease of the Port of Auckland.
The letter from Stop Stealing Our Harbour to Mayor Wayne Brown says the lease will lock the waterfront into low-productivity, industrial activities until at least 2060.
Instead, it calls on councillors to vote against the proposal, and transform the port into a public waterfront.
Urban Auckland chair and Stop Stealing Our Harbour's Julie Stout spoke to Charlotte Cook.
