Wayne Brown is proposing major reforms to Auckland's council controlled organisations in his draft budget proposal.
Brown wants to scrap the council's urban regeneration and property management arm Eke Panuku, and return its functions to the council.
Tataki Auckland Unlimited could lose its economic development, events and tourism marketing roles, becoming solely focused on managing stadiums, theatres and other facilities.
Brown says he's 'hopeful' Auckland Council will be on board with these changes.
"I think that Aucklanders should be in control of Auckland, frankly. And that means I'd like to get a bit less input from Wellington, as well as independent councils."
