Reform of council-controlled organisations (CCOs)
We want to reform our council-controlled organisations (CCOs) to improve how we deliver our services to Aucklanders.
A CCO is an organisation:
- that provides services to Aucklanders, and
- that is at least 50 per cent owned by Auckland Council, or for which Auckland Council has responsibility to appoint 50 per cent or more of its directors.

The proposed reforms do not include any cuts to funding or services. They involve changes that give elected council members more involvement in CCO decision-making, so that council services can be more responsive to Aucklanders.
Auckland Council Group shared services
We will continue to build our ‘shared services’ model to improve efficiency across the council group. This involves Auckland Council and CCOs sharing resources and internal services.
Annual plan consultation
We are not asking for feedback about CCO reform in this consultation.
