Chris Bishop: RMA Reform Minister on the proposal to increase the number of concerts at Eden Park

The Government wants more concerts at Auckland's Eden Park. 

RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop has written to Auckland Council seeking feedback on allowing up to 20 medium-sized concerts a year, on top of the 12 concerts it currently hosts. 

An economic report warns current restrictions could cost the city $432 million in lost income over the next decade. 

Bishop told Mike Hosking these changes will be good for Auckland. 

He says the zoning and rules are holding the city back, even if there's demand for more concerts.
