What we do

We have a bold vision: to create the world's most liveable city and deliver great value for money for Aucklanders. It is a vision that unites us and drives our 9,500 employees to deliver world-class services and experiences every day for our 1.5 million customers.

We look after over 101,000 hectares of public open spaces, 59 libraries and represent over 1.5 million Aucklanders, from Wellsford in the north to Franklin in the south. We keep the region ticking and are tasked with future proofing Auckland for generations to come.

Together, we can create an Auckland where living standards are better than they are today; an Auckland where young people have a future, and where our Tangata Whenua thrive; an Auckland shaped by design, not default; a city filled with wonderful places to gather, work, play, learn, love, laugh and celebrate; a place that inspires, and other cities aspire to be.

At Auckland Council, our role is to make the region we love even better. To unleash the potential of the world's most beautiful city and create the world's most liveable city. And at the same time, deliver Aucklanders great value for money. Ma tini, ma mano, ka rapa te whai. By many, by thousands, the work will be accomplished.

Together, all Auckland Council departments and units support and enable us to achieve our objectives of promoting the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of Auckland, both now and for the future.
