Prime Minister John Key believes Auckland's rail inner-city loop will happen - but not anytime soon.

Auckland Mayor Len Brown this morning tabled a $5.5 billion draft plan which he hopes will turn the city into the "most liveable city in the world".

The 254-page plan, which was launched at the new Auckland Art Gallery by Mr Brown and Local Government Minister Rodney Hide, includes the $2.2 billion central city rail loop, $2 billion of further waterfront development and $1.1 billion for central city development.

   "Infected by right-wing stooges, Mayor Brown and the responsible members of his council also have had a hard road to hoe - purely by having to contend with its own saboteurs."

   "If you want to reduce congestion build a second harbour crossing and tunnel it to Green Lane."
