A group of prominent Aucklanders have voiced disapproval with the planned long-term lease of the council-owned Port of Auckland.

Over 30 high-profile figures have signed an open letter against the plan, including Lady Pippa Blake, Sir Stephen Tindall, Sir Ralph Norris, and Chloe Swarbrick.

Stop Stealing Our Harbour spokesperson Michael Goldwater says the Council needs to consider its long-term vision for the waterfront.

"What needs to happen is that the Government and Auckland Council should develop a plan to move the Port. There's actually no conversation about that."
