How we represent you: Auckland Council representation review

This consultation on proposed changes for how Auckland is represented for the 2025 local elections closed on Thursday 8 August 2024.

Thank you for having your say.

What happens next

This consultation was the first step in collecting community feedback.

Your feedback will help shape the final proposal for changes in your area.

The consultation has closed and local boards will review all feedback received. They will:

• review feedback specific to their area
• use it to inform their own submissions on the initial proposal.

If you requested to speak to your submission, you can do so in early September 2024. We will be in touch with you to arrange a time.

Decision on a final proposal

In September 2024, the Governing Body will decide on the final proposal for how Aucklanders will be represented for the 2025 local elections.

We will then publicly notify the proposal.

You can lodge your objections or appeals from Thursday 3 October to Sunday 3 (4pm) November 2024.

Appeals and objections

If you made a submission on the council's initial proposal, you can appeal their decision, but only on issues you mentioned in your submission.

Anyone can object to the council's final proposal, but the objection must clearly state the issues being objected to.

To lodge an appeal or objection, you must submit in writing by 4pm, Sunday, 3 November 2024.
