A multi-billion dollar stadium precinct has been proposed for Auckland, in front of Auckland Council for a new stadium in the city. The council is also considering revamping Eden Park.

But the reality is these multimillion-dollar investments tend to require significant investment from local and regional councils.

When the commission’s report was released last week, many were disappointed the watch dog didn’t propose stronger measures to rein in the sector. The commission called for a mandatory code of conduct between supermarkets and suppliers.
