Illustration for Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

The Auckland Council is a territorial authority for Auckland. You can think of it like a local government that makes decisions for the area. It has the same responsibilities, duties, and powers as a regional council, but it is specific to Auckland.

The Auckland Council was established to oversee Auckland. It is in charge of making decisions that affect the area. This means it has the power to do things that a regional council can do.

You can find more information about the changes made to the Auckland Council by looking at the Local Government (Auckland Council) Amendment Act 2010, which repealed some parts of the original act on 1 November 2010.
