A City of Neighbourhoods is a podcast series by Auckland Urban Development Office.
This “Meet the Team” series introduces the people who make up the leadership of Auckland Council’s new Transport and Infrastructure directorate. The Transport and Infrastructure directorate has been formed to integrate many of what were formerly Auckland Transport functions into Auckland Council. Steve Mutton, who is the director of this new team, introduces each of his leaders to our listeners.
In this episode Steve introduces Paul Klinac. Paul is Auckland Council’s General Manager of Engineering, Assets and Technical Advisory. Paul’s team ensures that, outside of transport and “three waters” infrastructure, the vast array of Auckland Council’s new and existing physical assets are fit for purpose and value for money.
Paul is a civil engineer and avid surfer, mountain biker and fisherman.
