Heart of the City is urging Auckland Council to follow the Wellington's lead on cracking down on people working from home.

Public Service bosses are being told to manage staff working out of office as an agreement - not an entitlement.

Heart of the City CEO Viv Beck says council workers are only required to come to the office three days a week.

She says getting them back in the city is what the CBD needs.

"There's no point waiting for the CRL and expecting 54,000 people to pop out every hour. We've actually got to keep the place alive and vibrant - and this is one way that would make a difference."
