**THE BEST SOCIAL MEDIA/FACEBOOK POST IS:
DON’T SELL THE DOWNTOWN CARPARK- BUILD ON TOP!
SAVE $200ML!
Sale of the #DowntownCarparkBuilding was a decision by the last Council.
Auckland doesn’t have a connected network of regular, reliable public transport yet, so until such time as we do, it is too soon to sell this Public Facility.
We could save $200ml in Ratepayers Funds and reduce Council Deficit of $375ml, by simply:
NOT SELLING, but building on top of the carpark instead, and selling air rights only.
Environmentally- this is a disaster- opposite to recycling!
This alternative of building on top of the existing carpark, would take 2 years to build rather, than 5 years for the demolition.
Many many tons of rubble to be disposed of and a huge hole in the ground.
PLEASE SHARE URGENTLY – COUNCIL VOTE TOMORROW!

This is an important amenity & a strategic transport site for future
- in the Civic Centre of Auckland where ALL ratepayers have a right to access.
There will only be bus parking and disabled parking that is NOT sufficient as
we rely on this carpark for:
#Convenient - parking in the Viaduct, Commercial Bay, Queen St and Ferry Terminal
#Affordable - it is reasonably priced
#Safety - as it is under cover (for lone females, parents with children and seniors)
#CivicCentre - is open to ALL visitors, especially ratepayers
#Commuters - rely on this to access their work
#InterIslandCommuters - Waiheke and Barrier residents ‘town car’ parking
#FerryCommuters - North Shore, Gulf Harbour and other places car for CBD
#Residents - city apartments without parking (reasonably priced long-term parking)
#ParknRide - when this is the hub for trains, ferries and public transport
#Visitors - day trippers to Waiheke and Barrier
#Tradies, Sales and Service - link to other locations and carry stock or large items
