✦AI Summary
A financial analysis suggests that amalgamating Wellington's local councils into a metro authority could cost $270 million but generate over $900 million in savings over 25 years. Local leaders are currently evaluating these options ahead of an August deadline.
Setting up a metro authority encompassing Wellington, Porirua and the Hutt Valley could cost its residents $269 million - but projected savings will only come over the next 25 years.
