The report, released early this week, identifies either the status quo or two Rodney local boards, under the existing Auckland Council, as the preferred options for local government in Rodney.
The Local Government Commission will now decide whether to proceed with the proposals to create new councils on Waiheke in in North Rodney.
What do you think? Is it too late to split North Rodney from Auckland Council?

A number of young men have become quadriplegics after jumping of wharves and suffering spinal injuries.
However previous attempts by the council to ban diving at danger spots have failed, and it now takes a different approach with educational signs pointing out the risks.
ACC saw 230 claims last year for injuries suffered at jumping or diving structures, ranging from cuts and bruises to surgery for shattered ankles and damaged spines, and spinal unit consultant Rick Acland believes it's "almost criminal" to support wharf jumping.
Have you ever been injured jumping from Orewa wharf or the cliffs at Re Beach or Little Manly?
And what do you reckon? Should it be banned?
