![]() Picture - NZ Herald The northern boundary of Auckland's super city will include the Rodney District. The Local Government Commission has just released its final decisions for boundaries and representation for the council. The people of Auckland will be represented by 13 wards. Seven will have two members on the council, the other six will have just one. In addition, 21 local boards will share in decision making. The northern boundary will include Rodney, but to the south a significant part of Franklin will become part of the Waikato District. The Karioitahi Beach and Paparimu areas will stay with Auckland. It comes as Rodney residents upset at their district being merged into the Auckland super city are taking their fight to Parliament. More than 1,000 locals have signed a petition organised by the Wellsford Community Group demanding a law be drafted that excludes North Rodney from the super city boundaries. Their petition has been presented to Parliament. It coincides with the Rodney District Council's own attempt to draft a local bill to keep it out of the planned local government merger.
