Central Government is nudging local councils up and down the country
to merge operations. But some are suggesting that the Auckland-style
monolithic “supercity” model may not be the best option for everybody:
how about forming a “federation” of councils in particular regions,
where they agree to share some operations, but keep others distinct?
