Auckland Council’s Consultancy Bill Nears $100 Million
After initially refusing to provide the information,
Auckland Council has months later revealed the eyewatering
amount they spent on consultants and temporary staff in the
2022 financial year.
| Consultancy | Temporary Staff | |
|---|---|---|
| Auckland Council | $86.1m | $8.0m |
| Eke Panuku | $1.8m | $2.9m |
| Tataki Auckland Unlimited | $5.5m | $1.8m |
| Tataki Auckland Unlimited Trust | $6.8m | $1.1m |
Auckland Ratepayers’ Alliance spokesperson Jordan Williams says:
“Auckland Council is already guilty of bureaucratic inflation of their permanent workforce, so to be spending so many millions of additional ratepayer dollars on consultants and contractors is simply obscene.
“Now is the time for Wayne Brown to get out his red pen and start cutting out the unnecessary spending that is driving rates increases and taking funding from projects that materially improve Auckland’s functioning.
“Be ruthless, Wayne. Cut the stupid spending so Aucklanders can see their rates going towards vital infrastructure projects.”
