An Auckland Council plan to create a regional services hub in the heart of Manukau appears to be back on the table after being put on hold last year due to budget cutbacks. And while the council couldn't provide any costings for the project, head of corporate property Rod Aitken said design and planning work is already underway. The Manukau (Southern) Hub was part of an Auckland Council plan to increase efficiencies and offer more flexible services for customers. As part of the proposal it had been looking at selling a number of properties in the Auckland area so it could consolidate its key operations into three or four regional hubs.
