Auckland's predicted rapid growth, and all the implications that come with that, has been set out in a pre local government election report from the council's Chief Executive, Phil Wilson.
He says those standing for local government in Auckland need to have an honest assessment of how the council is functioning, its financial health and the challenges looming for the region.
Councillors will need to address the city's relatively low productivity and support a lifting of the region's performance.
Phil Wilson joins Kathryn to detail demands coming in the future as predictions indicate the city could swell by half a million in 30 years.
