A plea for whoever's in Government next month to address the worrying state of the events sector in Auckland.   

Auckland Unlimited has revealed to the council that no major events are confirmed in the city beyond August next year due to a lack of funding. 

Heart of the City Chief Executive Viv Beck told Tim Dower that it's a major international city, so this needs to be resolved.  

She says there's a big opportunity coming up for the incoming Government to really look at the whole funding mechanism for Auckland.
