Maintain a capital investment programme of over $2.5 billion in 2020/2021.
Maintain investment in initiatives to reduce our climate emissions, support the homeless and extend the living wage to contract cleaners.
Reinstate $40 million of transport capital expenditure, including safety funding.
Not reduce the local board discretionary funding.
