It\'s full steam ahead for Auckland\'s Mayor in his attempt to take back control of the city\'s transport system.

\\n

The Council\'s governing body has voted to accept Wayne Brown\'s recommendation for the council to support a change of governance.

\\n

The proposed bill would establish two new transport committees for a more integrated approach with the Crown.

\\n

Brown told Mike Hosking the council has to play a bigger role in central government\'s decisions, and they\'re working with the Transport Minister on a 10 year integrated Auckland plan.

\\n

The bill will also give Auckland Council the lead role in creating the Regional Land Transport Plan.
