Govt to announce 'super city' decision tomorrow

The Government's response to the Royal Commission's report on Auckland's local government structure will be announced tomorrow, Prime Minister John Key said today.

The report recommended creating a "super city" run by a single authority with urban and rural wards.

Mr Key said the Cabinet discussed the report today and there was "extensive and wide-ranging" debate about its recommendations.

He would not give any details of the Government response at his post-cabinet press conference.

"I want to do it in Auckland," he told reporters.

Mr Key and Local Government Minister Rodney Hide will make the announcement at about 2pm.
