There's growing calls among Auckland business leaders to get the city's economy going again.
According to the latest Stats NZ data, Auckland’s 6.1 percent unemployment rate for the June 2025 quarter was the highest of any region and above the national rate of 5.2 percent.
Heart of the City chief executive Viv Beck says the Government needs to find a solution to get the city moving again.
"We're talking to people on the street, businesses who have struggled through 10 years...they need people, they need customers, they need people here and events are a proven way of doing that."
