Community FAQs

Will the Auckland Council be responsible for delivering community services?

The delivery of community services will be the responsibility of the new Auckland Council. It is expected local boards will be closely involved in developing, proposing and advocating on the nature and type of services to be provided within their areas.

What will happen to existing council commitments to communities?

Where a council has given a formal commitment (of a type which would be enforceable in law) to a community or individual, this commitment will continue to be enforceable under the new structures. Where a commitment is not of a type enforceable by law, Auckland Council will be accountable to its communities for acting in a responsible and honourable way.
