New Zealand First and ACT are opposing an Auckland Council plan for the Waitākere Ranges. 

The council wants to set up a committee including iwi, the Crown and Auckland Council. 

NZ First MP Shane Jones says it could easily morph into co-governance and ACT leader David Seymour claims it could let unelected decision-makers close tracks and dictate land use.

NZ Herald political editor Thomas Coughlan says the ball's in National's court on this matter.
