New Zealand report calls for mayor empowerment and community voting in local governance reforms.
New research by The New Zealand Initiative identifies a key issue in local government: mayors and councillors lack power to fulfill promises, with real authority held by unelected officials.
The report "Making Local Government Work" suggests reforms like adopting Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia model, which gave mayors more authority with checks, and extending Auckland's mayoral model to other councils.
It also proposes direct community votes on major projects, highlighting the need for political will to enact these changes.
